Installing Ubuntu without a bootable CD

Installing Ubuntu without a bootable CD I am currently planning on installing a 64 bit version of Ubuntu. I have my partitions set up already, but my cd writer is currently out of commission. Is there anyway for me to install it without creating a bootable CD?

You should be able to boot and install from a USB flash drive, if your motherboard supports it and you have a large enough flash drive for the Live CD contents. UNetbootin can help set up the USB drive.

"I think you already have an OS, otherwise use a USB drive.

When having an OS, like Windows, just:

Download the ISO and mount it using a virtual CD-ROM drive software like Virtual CloneDrive.

Now by default the WUBI installer would open with the options you want to install Ubuntu. Yes, you can not delete Windows easily now, but when your CD drive is ready I guess it would.

STILL I SAY IF IT'S POSSIBLE BOOT FROM THE USB STICK!"
