Ubuntu Bootable USB Drive

Create an Ubuntu Bootable USB with an ISO with dd

1.  Start Ubuntu on a host machine or VM.  I used VMWare Workstation and a guest Ubuntu ISO.
2.  apt-get install gparted
3.  plug in an empty USB
4.  See which /dev directory that the USB is attached to.  Usually like /dev/sdb.  Can do this by typing dmesg | tail -n 10.  The output should show the name, size, and directory of the USB
5.  sudo gparted ; enter password if it is set.
6.  Select the correct device from the dropdown on the right.
7.  On the menu, choose Partition.  If the drive isn't empty, delete what is on the drive by clicking on "Delete".  This will permanently delete the info, so keep this in mind.  Click on the green checkmark icon to apply the changes to the drive.
8.  If/when the drive is empty, select "New". A popup should appear.  Choose ext4 for the File system.  Click OK.  Click on the green checkmark icon to apply the changes to the drive.
9.  Exit the program.
10.  Download the Ubuntu ISO
11.  dd if=/pathandname/of/Ubuntu.ISO of=/dev/devname bs=4MB
