For some reason it simply won't execute anymore. I even downloaded a 2nd copy (and set it as executable) but it asks what I want to open it with. Forgot to mention I am using the latest Musix

I know of two utilities on Windows to burn Linux live distros on USB keydrives: UNetBootIn and Universal-USB-Installer.I know nothing about what is required to make a USB keydrive bootable and run from it, and I was wondering if...
- those two utilies have the exact same features, and just use a different UI
- there are yet other utilies for Windows I should know about?
I recently installed Damn Small Linux using unetbootin. Booting Linux from unetbootin seems a lot like booting from a liveCD, so I'd like to mount my hard drive and see what I can do. Unfortunately it looks like Damn Small Linux has not mounted it automatically, and I'm having trouble finding my drive and mounting it from the /dev directory. There are several devices named /dev/*da* and I don't know which is my hard drive. My computer is an HP Mini netbook, so the drive is probably one of the new "solid state" drives if that affects anything.What can I do to find and mount my hard drive from unetbootin?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi laptop, that I purchased 5 years ago. It has the following:AMD Turion 64x2 Mobile Technology TL50 (1.6GHz, 512 KB L2 cache)ATI Radeon Xpress 1100120GB PATA HDD hard drive (60 gigs for the C: drive FAT32, 60 for the D: drive, NTFS)I have Windows XP Media Center edition installed on my pc, and I want to install linux. This is my first time installing linux on anything. My laptop's cd drive doesn't work, so I wanted to boot from a USB or from hard disk. I googled around and found unetbootin, which I ran. When I ask it to use the hard disk, I select Debian stable and the one where it loads everything up beforehand, not the netboot. This is because the netboot option wasn't working - it gave me a similar problem. Anyways, I boot up, and I have a choice between unetbootin and windows xp. When I choose unetbootin, it says:
Booting 'Unetbootin'

Alright so I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer a wubi install of ubuntu to an actual partition using LVPM. I need to use unetbootin with parted magic mounted (not sure if that's the right term) to my hard disk rather than a bootable flash drive. So I set everything up, downloaded parted magic ISO, ran unetbootin and selected the file everything installed smoothly. I then restart my computer and unetbootin is indeed in the boot list but when I select it, it remains at a black screen. I left it at the black screen for about ten minutes and nothing happened. I've tried a few times and nothing.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAnyone succesfully created a bootable usb with ubuntu 10.04 using Unetbootin? I already have the .iso file and an 8GB flash drive but everytime i try to use unetbootin, it says installation is complete and my flash drive is ready to use (all this took only 5 secs! weird!). And when i open my flash drive, nothing is there and the used space is 80KB...its really empty

I'd like to put Sabayon 5.2 onto a 2GB USB pen in order to install on a PC. However when I opened UNetbootin I noticed the highest version for Sabayon was 4 [picture attached]. Is it worth trying? Otherwise what is the best alternative to UNetbootin?

Debian 5.0
Unetbootin - linux version
Window-7.iso
On "Distribution" of Unetbootin drop-list I can't find Windows. However the Windows-7.iso is on Debian. I can't run Unetbootin Windows version here. Is there a solution?
Does anybody know where UNetBootin stores the temporary .isos etc.. before it extracts and puts it on the USB stick. I notice my hard drive space is going down slowly and that's the only thing I've been downloading with for the past few days.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy old HDD died. I have 10.10 installed on a usb stick. This is a full installation not a LiveCD. I downloaded the live CD and Unetbootin.
Can I use unetbootin to create a bootable 'LiveCD' onto a partition of my new hard drive?
Without a CD drive, I can't think of any other way to get an installation onto my new HDD
EDIT - got ubuntu installed but had to do it at work, so i am still curious as how one would proceed with only a USB (full installation) and a blank HDD with no access to any other computers.

I installed ubuntu on my v13 (SU7300 model, not the ubuntu model) using unetbootin.Installation was successful, but when I restart, the boot loader only gives me the option of starting Windows.I can still use unetbootin until I start windows and uninstall it. After that, if I restart, the only OS option to boot from is Windows.
NOTE: I installed 9.10 using frugal more (no cd, no usb, but rather live from hard drive.)
I've been using a LiveUSB I created using unetbootin from Windows Vista/7.
Whenever I use it to install Ubuntu (done it a few times now) or as a LiveUSB to try and rescue my installation, it never shuts down or reboots. It just starts the cycle then hangs on the white Ubuntu logo. As it never gets past this, I'm forced to hard power off, and I'm concerned this could be damaging my mounted system drives? I've decided I should be unmounting before I try and shut it down now, is there a proper way to do this, and can I fix the LiveUSB itself?
I tried to install SliTaz to my flash drive to save a DVD. When I booted into it, it gave me a unetbootin custom boot screen with a 10 second count down to boot to default- the only option. I hit enter, it resets to 10 seconds, I wait 10 seconds and it still resets to 10 seconds.

i have a Sandisk 5gig USB key that had mint 9 live on it that i was hoping to get an old brotasaurus (Dell Latitude D510) up and running again with. apparently Mint is too pretty for the beast and so I tried to get mint Fluxbox to install on to the key, then i tried Fedora, and finaly i tried DSL. Unetbootin seems to have stoped making the key bootable as three of my laps seem unable to read it.
[Update] so i tried dd'ing the iso to the usb following the instructions on the suse site
# umount /dev/sdb1
# dd if=/home/Derf/Downloads/dsl-4.4.10.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M;sync
and it is still failing to create a bootable usb. says

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 9.10. Since a few days my I cannot boot anymore with the newest kernel (2.6.31-20.31). Instead I get a menu with a menu that lets me boot in recovery mode or boot from previous kernels (2.6.31-19).
In recovery mode for 2.6.31.20 it hangs at: Waiting for root file system. It boots just fine with kernel 2.6.31.19 except that apache and cups have to be reinstalled after every reboot. Everthing else seems to work without any problem.
Is there a way to do a system recovery, like in Win XP, going back to a system state from before the problems started?
My Ubuntu 9.10 will not load anymore after installing the updates from the Update Manager. I get the message after restarting under the heading: [1.469482] Kernel panic- not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (8,2). I am very surprised that this will happen especially after installing the security updates from the Update Manager. Is there a way I can still save my Ubuntu?
