Just use the dd command to create a live boot flash drive.
in this example I am going to call the USB pen drive /dev/sdb1 and the ISO disk image /home/endrias/ubuntu.ISO. you need to umount the drive before proceeding with the preparation. Here is the command:
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
dd if=/home/endrias/ubuntu.ISO of=/dev/sdb1
then just restart your computer and plug in your flash drive and boot from USB.

in that case use the `unetbootin` tool and use it to create a bootable pen drive. It's very easy, you can see how on youtube. – endrias Jul 22 '17 at 10:59

1Not necessarily, if the OP uses EFI use Win32DiskImager or Rufus instead. – Jul 22 '17 at 12:07
