1. download Ubuntu here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop, it's an ISO file
2. download dd for windows if you are working on Windows: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd
3. put the above files in a same folder
4. if the image size > 4G, you need to format the USB with NTFS format; insert USB to PC,open command window, go to that folder, run:
dd --list and look carefully at the list of NT Block Device Objects and use the one that looks like in my case:
\\?\Device\Harddisk2\Partition0 where the description is something like Removable media other than floppy. Block size = 512.
5. run: dd bs=512K if=ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-i386.iso of=\\?\Device\Harddisk2\Partition0 --progress
this bs parameter(bs=512K) is thousands faster than default parameter
