w to install Linux Alongside Windows 7 with a USB
http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/help/guide/preparation
Download LinuxLive USB Creator if not already done and install it.
Start LinuxLive USB Creator from your Start Menu -> All Programs -> LinuxLive USB Creator
Creating a Linux Live USB key is then a five easy steps process:
- step 1: choose a USB key or drive in the list
- step 2: select an ISO file or a CD
- step 3: choose the size of persistent data (usually between 250 MB and 2 GB)
- step 4: check the options you want
- step 5: click the lightning button to start the creation
Moreover, each mandatory step (1, 2 and 3) has a traffic light to indicate its state:
- Red light: the step has not been carried out correctly, you cannot start creating a Live USB key
- Orange light: there is a non blocking problem during this step, you can still start the creation
- Green light: everything is fine

HomeHelpUser's GuideStep 1: Choosing a USB Key
All you have to do in this first step is choosing your USB device (drive or key) on which you want to create a Linux Live USB key.
Requirements are:
- a USB device with a FAT32 or FAT partition *
- usually 810 MB of free space (but depends on what Linux you install) **
** If you don't have enough space, free some space or choose "Format in FAT32" in the options (step 4)
For more information about FAT32 and FAT limitation see Why does LiLi only uses FAT32 and FAT filesystems?

HomeHelpUser's GuideStep 2: Selecting a source
Select
an ISO file, CD or folder containing the extracted LinuxLive ISO's
files. If you don't have any ISO or do not know what to install, use the
Download button and select a Linux distribution (Ubuntu is a good
choice to begin).
It is VERY important to read the Support matrix page for a list of currently supported Linux Distributions.
As an alternative, you can use any IMG file as source but be aware that it will WIPE YOUR DEVICE and you won't have access to any advanced features such as SmartCleaning, portable virtualization ...
LinuxLive USB Creator does not support Multi-Boot (multiple Linux distros) on the same USB key:Can I use LiLi to create a Multi-Boot live USB key ?
If you want me to add support for another Linux, use the Submit a Linux.

HomeHelp & GuideUser's GuideStep 3: Persistence
In this step, you have to choose the size of the persistent data that could be stored.
This feature is currently only available on some Linux (check your Linux in the Support Matrix).
Please also note that it is not working when using VirtualBox in Windows 7 / Vista.
Before going further, I recommend you to read these questions in the FAQ:
- What is persistence?
- What can I do and not do on a Persistent system?
- Why can't I have more than 4GB for persistent data with LiLi?
- How can I have more than 4GB of persistent data?
If you don't know how much to give to persistent data, give between 300 MB and 500 MB. If you intend to make an heavy usage of your Linux, choose more than 1 GB.
Selecting 0 MB means no persistence, only live mode. Any change made in your Linux will be lost on reboot.
Be warned that you must not do system updates. Explanations here.
If you don't have enough space, select the "Format" option in step 4.

Step 4 is optional. The 3 options are:
Enable launching LinuxLive in Windows (= Virtualization):
This
is the most important option. It allows you to launch a LinuxLive
directly in any Windows without any configuration nor software
installation on your hard drive. No other Creator offers this exclusive
feature.
LinuxLive USB Creator made it possible with a special
homemade version of the famous virtualization software VirtualBox. It
will download this portable version on your USB key (no installation)
and will set it automatically for you. If you don't know what
virtualization is, then read the What is virtualization? article of the FAQ.
To launch your LinuxLive in Windows, just run Virtualize_This_Key.exe * located in the VirtualBox folder on your USB key.
* Be aware that you need local administrator's privileges in order to launch VirtualBox.
Hide created files on the USB key:
This
will just hide the files created on the USB key. The files will be
invisible only in Windows because of attributes S (system) and H
(hidden). To see the files, go in Folder Options -> View ->
Advanced settings and check Show hidden files and folders.
This option is quite useful because many files will be created on your USB key.
Format the USB key in FAT32:
Use this option if your USB key is using NTFS, if you need more space or if you want to clean your USB key.
Be careful, it will erase EVERYTHING on your USB key.
Do not ask me to make it work on NTFS, it does not depend on me.

HomeHelpUser's GuideStep 5: Create
Please close any window / program using the USB key. This includes Explorer windows opened on your USB key.
All you have to do is to click on the lightning button to start the creation.
How long to create a LinuxLive USB Key?
Here are the steps followed to create the LinuxLive USB key and estimated times:
- Formatting the USB key (if option checked) (1 min.)
- Cleaning previous install (< 1 min.)
- Downloading VirtualBox as a background task * (5 - 10 min. but in the background)
- Copying source files to the USB key (5 - 10 min.)
- Renaming some files (< 1 min.)
- Hiding files (if option checked) (< 1 min.)
- Creating the persistence file (1 min. per 100 MB)
- Formating the persistence file (1 - 5 min.)
- Installing boot sector (< 1 min.)
- Uncompressing and installing VirtualBox on the USB key (3 - 7 min.)
* If you use a proxy, please be sure that Internet Explorer has an Internet access because LinuxLive USB Creator uses its configuration.
Once your USB key is ready, go on to the next step.

HomeHelpUser's GuideUsing your LinuxLive USB Key
Your LinuxLive USB key should now be ready! Thank you for using LinuxLive USB Creator.
Don't forget to share LiLi with your friends if you liked it :-)
Before going any further, properly unplug your USB device then reconnect it. This will force Windows to check the autorun of the key and update the icon.
You now have two possibilities: the first one is to boot your Linux directly in Windows (=virtualization), the second one being to boot your PC from your LinuxLive USB key.
In both methods, it is exactly the same Linux that is booted.
Using your LinuxLive USB key directly within windows:
Open your USB key in Windows Explorer. You should see a folder called VirtualBox. It contains two executable files:
- Virtualize_This_Key.exe: will directly launch your Linux in Windows (inside VirtualBox)
- VirtualBox.exe: will launch the full VirtualBox interface
Be aware that persistence CAN'T be used in VirtualBox.
Booting your PC from your LinuxLive USB key:
Shutdown Windows and insert your USB key in one of your PC's USB port (preferably a rear one for a desktop PC).
Power on your PC and quickly press the corresponding keyboard key to access the BIOS. Each BIOS has its own menu so this explanation is generic :
Find the boot menu and put USB devices before Hard drives/CD for the boot order. If you don't have any USB option it may mean that your PC is not able to boot from USB.
Save and exit the BIOS.
For recent PCs, directly hit the boot menu key (F8, F11, F12 depending on the PC) from the boot screen instead and select your USB device there.
Your LinuxLive USB key menu should appear (options may vary):
Usually, you will boot with Persistent Mode by default.
For any question or issue you may have, take a look to the FAQ.
