Installing Ubuntu or Trisquel on an SSD from a HDD
So I have a 500gb HDD currently split 50 50 between Ubuntu and Windows. I have a 120 GB which I would like to give a fresh install of Trisquel or Ubuntu, then expand the Windows partition to occupy the whole HDD. I don't have a USB handy, but I have my iso downloaded on the linux partition of my HDD. Is there a way to install it to the SSD from the HDD without using a USB drive?

If you have grub booting: askubuntu.com/questions/1025656/… & askubuntu.com/questions/845192/… This will boot an ISO from a hard drive or any second drive or flash drive ISO Booting with Grub 2 from Hard drive - drs305 help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot Examples - you may copy & edit for your path & ISO version help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot/Examples vmlinuz may be vmlinuz.efi in some versions of ubuntu
