Step 1. Download Unetbootin. https://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/

Step 2. Select your linux disto, in your case ubuntu 15.10

step 3. Select the drive and hit okay.

step 4. shut down the computer, and rapidly press f8 immediately after you press the on button. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode#1TC=windows-7

step 5. Select the external drive and follow the installation menu of ubuntu.

In windows 10 preview you can write the iso to the drive using terminal. It will be bootable, You should be able to find your partition with terminal to write to a specific partition.

"
Insert the USB device and then open Disk Utility (in 10.10 and older, System -> Administration -> Disk Utility).
Select the USB device from the list in the left of the program and detect where it was mounted: /dev/sd[1 letter][optionally 1 number]. For example, /dev/sdc or /dev/sdc1.

Make sure the USB device is unmounted (not safely removed, but unmounted) If it is mounted you can unmount it:

sudo umount /dev/sd[1 letter][optionally 1 number]

Assuming the .iso file is in your home folder, open the terminal and write:

sudo dd bs=4M if=[ur .iso] of=/dev/sd[that 1 letter]

Example:

sudo dd bs=4M if=windows7.iso of=/dev/sdc

grub bootloader is complicated on windows. You actually have to press tab or shift when it is booting. Sometimes grub won't show up when you do this because it was not properly installed.
