Apr 16, 2011My Toshiba Satellite 5205-S705 laptop with Win XP Home sp3 has a non-working cd drive, is riddled with viruses, and isn't capable of booting to a USB drive.

Sep 29, 2010I have installed a RH on my laptop. It is a lenovo T400. I made a clone of the laptop disk through the command:
dd if=/dev/sda of=dev/sdb
I picked the copied disk and installed it on a lenovo T410
I works almost great, as all my installation was working excepting the Xwindows part.
for a while, I thought it could be related to the xorg.conf file. So I replaced my xorg.conf file by a fresh that came from a fresh installation on a T410. This did not change anything.
I guess I missed something within the X11 configuration but I can t figure out what.
Server :: Make Bootable Iso Of RHEL5.2 - Error 'no-emul-boot'

Mar 23, 2011If I dd copy a bootable usb drive to an iso will the iso be bootable?
I haven't tried it yet, but i'm going to. Heres the situation and tell me if I'm crazy.
I have several bootable CDs I use at work to do different things, so I went ahead and made a multi-boot usb stick with the isos on them and everything is golden. When i need something else, I am able to slap the ISO on the usb stick, edit the menu.lst and I'm good to go.
The problem is, for some of our equipment I have a bootable USB stick that I have to use. I tried copying the files on the bootable USB to my multi-boot usb and setup grub to boot it (which admittedly I'm no expert at), but have had no luck.
So now I'm thinking, I'll use dd to copy the bootable USB stick to an iso (using bs=2048) and then do my normal setup with an ISO and maybe it will work.

Aug 15, 2011I would like to understand the following:
I have a Debian installation CD that I can boot from. Now I copied that to an USB-stick using dd
dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/sdc bs=1M
The CD-image should contain a boot-sector and everything else that is needed for booting, yet the USB stick does not boot.
What am I missing - why does the stick not boot?
PS: I am not interested in tips on how to create a bootable stick, I only want to understand why the above method does not work.
General :: Creating Persistent Bootable USB Drive From Iso?
Jul 11, 2010I am trying to install Linux (the distros I have attempted it with are Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu and Mint) on a USB drive and make it work like a removable hard drive, keeping programs and settings. I tried it manually at first, partitioning the drive with Fedora's "Disk Utility" and dd'ing a Fedora 13 iso over. I should note here that I have definitely configured the BIOS correctly, enabled booting from removable media and set it as the default with all other devices disabled, but that I have never actually booted from USB before with this motherboard. On bootup I got
Code:
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
I then tried it with Ubuntu 10 and Ubuntu's "usb-creator". This was apparently successful, but on bootup I got:
Code:
missing operating system
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
I downloaded UNetBootIn, but the application kept saying I needed "p7zip-full", which I couldn't find anywhere. I then got Fedora liveusb-creator, but whichever iso I give it I get this error:
Code:
Unable to find LiveOS on ISO I looked at the source code and it seems to be looking for a directory named LiveOS on the iso containing the files "squashfs.img" and "osmin.img" Here is the code (usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/liveusb/creator.py, line 575):
Code:
def extract_iso(self):
""" Extract self.iso to self.dest """
self.log.info(_("Extracting live image to USB device..."))
[code]...
I couldn't find much about what LiveOS actually means and why I need it to create a bootable USB, so if anyone could tell me more about this that would be great. Is this (the .img files) the only thing distinguishing a "Live" OS from a non-Live one? I looked in my Ubuntu live CD and there was no such directory, but it works perfectly well. In case it would make a difference, the stick is 8GB and branded duracell, not sure what manufacturer it is.

General :: Ext2 Or Ext4 For Bootable USB Flash-drive?
Jan 26, 2011I want to install Ubuntu to a USB Flash drive (so I have my Desktop everywhere and can customize it as I want). I'm still choosing what's the best filesystem for the USB; Ext2 with no journaling or Ext4 with journaling but performance increase? I know that journaling will probably reduce the life of the USB flash drive dramatically, so is Ext2 the obvious choice? Or is it a bad idea to install Linux (Ubuntu probably) on a USB Flash drive? I tried running a live CD from the USB drive, but it wasn't very customizable - which is the point of carrying my OS with me.

Ubuntu :: Bootable USB Drive Deleted OS On Hard Drive And Replaced It?
Aug 26, 2010I just booted one of my computers from a usb drive I had installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to, and when I booted it up on that computer, it worked fine. Then, when I powered down the computer and booted it back up to the main hard drive, it booted to the same that my flash drive was running, but my flash drive was not plugged in!! How is this possible? Did it copy itself over my other operating system? There is no trace of it. By the way, that, too, was ubuntu 10.04.
