yeah. create a 8gb partition on the new drive, format it as fat32. copy the ISO’s contents (not the ISO, its contents) to the 8gb partition. shut down when done. optional, disconnect the windows drive so you don’t fuck it up. power on, press whatever the key is for the boot menu for your UEFI. it should list the installer as a boot option. hit that. final step, equally important. when the GRUB menu appears, press “e” on the menu item and find the linux kernel switches (where it says “quiet splash” etc) and add toram (debian/ubuntu) or rd.live.ram (fedora). this will boot the image to ram. so when you start the installer you can select wipe & use whole disk. suerte!
