Click on the System Menu on<br> the top bar, select Administration and then USB Startup Disk Creator.<br> You'll need to download the Xubuntu ISO (if you haven't already) and<br> select it, then it should be able to create a bootable USB stick.<br> However, it will also rely on support in the PCs BIOS to boot from USB.<br> It might work, then again it might not (USB booting wasn't really<br> included in BIOSes until about the Athlon XP/P4).
