There are two ways to create Live USB :

1. Single Linux Bootable
2. Multi Linux Bootable.

Single Linux Bootable Drive

Step 1: Download Universal USB Installer.

Step 2: Select the Linux distro from drop-down and if you have the image file then browse it in the text box otherwise just check the “Download the iso” option.

Step 3: Select your pendrive in the 2 drop-down box and format it if you want (I’ll recommend) and click create.

Step 4: That was all now just boot from your pendrive

Multi Linux Bootable Pendrive

Step 1: Download Yumi MultibootCreator.

Step 2: Select your Pendrive and Linux Distro you want to make live pendrive of and browse or download the iso image.

Note:  Select "View or Remove Installed Distro" option to make the pendrive for single linux

Step 3: Just click create and you are done, to install more linux on the same drive, just follow the instruction again from Step 1

Making Live Pendrive can be very useful when trying to install linux/windows from the pendrive and a very nice alternative for the problem of installing the different operating system on a single machine and sometimes can be used to gain access to some very important files which are restricted to users even to administrators in windows environment.
