How do I transfer files to a hard drive with no operating system?

Question

I would like to transfer the operating system Raspbian, a modified version of Debian to a blank hard drive on a computer. Rasbian was meant for use on the Raspberry Pi computer, however, I wish to install it on a desktop computer. I am not exactly sure how to do this, but I was thinking that if I plugged an SD card with the Raspbian operating system files on it, and a USB with another operating system on it, such as Ubuntu, and I dragged and dropped the operating system files from the SD card and copied them onto the hard drive in the Ubuntu file explorer, would that work?

Also, I was wondering...Is the raspbian operating system fairly lightweight? Will it take up many of my computer's resources?

Answer 1

Raspbian is compiled for the ARM hardware that powers the R-Pi. It will not run on an ordinary PC which has Intel's x86 hardware.



BUT! There is a Linux Duistro called Debian which is where Raspbian comes from, and YES there is a version of Debian for PCs. Download here https://www.debian.org/distrib/

Answer 2

The right way to find out if it is even possible to install Raspian on a Windows PC is to do a Google Search for the Instructions.

NO! It will not have PC support. And it would need a proper installer if it did. You will just trash the system.
