1.Insert the SD card into your SD card reader and check what drive letter it was assigned. You can easily see the drive letter (for example G:) by looking in the left column of Windows Explorer.
2.Download the Win32 Disk Imager utility (it is also a zip file). You can run this from a USB drive.
3.Extract the executable from the zip file and run the Win32DiskImager utility; you may need to run the utility as Administrator! Right-click on the file, and select 'Run as Administrator'
4.Select the image file you extracted above
5.Select the drive letter of the SD card in the device box. Be careful to select the correct drive; if you get the wrong one you can destroy your data on the computer's hard disk!
6.Click Write and wait for the write to complete.
That should get the Linux Distro written and ready to the SD card.
