Move WUBI to a USB Flash Drive. WUBI on USB?
In the following tutorial, I'll show you how we moved a WUBI Ubuntu install to a USB Flash Drive. This is a followup of our previous move WUBI to External Hard Drive tutorial as it appears WUBI currently utilizes a different set of features and GRUB2 has replaced GRUB, making the previous tutorial obsolete. What is really neat about Ubuntu's WUBI installer is that it utilizes a disk image to house the entire operating system, making it very portable already. You basically just need a bootloader to go with it to make it run from USB. Moreover, since the filesystem on your USB is NTFS, you can still use the device to store files in Windows.

Intel developed the original EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) specification. Some of the EFI's practices and data formats mirror those from Microsoft Windows.[4][5] In 2005, UEFI deprecated EFI 1.10 (the final release of EFI). The Unified EFI Forum manages the UEFI specification. History[edit] The original motivation for EFI came during early development of the first Intel–HP Itanium systems in the mid-1990s.
In July 2005, Intel ceased development of the EFI specification at version 1.10, and contributed it to the Unified EFI Forum, which has evolved the specification as the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). Version 2.1 of the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) specification was released on 7 January 2007.
