Write to USB

This step will erase the USB drive you use. Use a new one or make a backup first!
There are two methods here which can be used -- pick your preferred method as you see fit, or as the distro you select recommends.
Option 1: Go to sourceforge.net and download win32diskimager to make a bootable USB drive. NOTE: This may not work with all Linux distros. If you have issues, try the 2nd option listed.
Option 2: Using Rufus, follow this guide to make a bootable USB drive.
Select the Linux image you intend to use on the system, and write it to the USB drive following the prompts in the application you choose.
