Ok so I've searched for a solution to this problem everywhere and couldn't seem to find any, so I decided to post here.Recently I came across a new modified version of Ubuntu which was made for pentesters, called "blackbuntu".Now I know everything is the same as linux, except a little tweaked.

Ubuntu :: Installing Windows 7 From USB Stick - Bootable?

Dec 24, 2010

Since playing games on Ubuntu is a pain, I've decided to sacrifice a few GB's to install Windows 7 on another partition. Is there any tool for Ubuntu to make USB sticks bootable? I've tried UNetbootin, but that's just for Linux distributions. I use Ubuntu 10.04 64Bit and want to install Windows Home Premium 64Bit, in case it's important...

Ubuntu :: Clone Bootable USB Stick To Smaller Drive?

Aug 22, 2011

I wanted to back up my 4Gb boot drive and the new drive I had was slightly smaller. Couldn't find any info on here and precious little on the internet but I have previously used this technique to clone an 8Gb disk onto a 4Gb one. Since I have gained a lot of useful info from this forum over the years its probably time I contributed something. I used my netbook but this would work equally well from a live CD. Note the disk has to be unmounted so you can't use the live system. Firstly your USB stick probably has 2 partitions one for "/" and one for swap.

The first step is to reduce the "/" partition on the source drive to a size smaller than your target drive. I used gparted for this. Next create a partition on your target drive that is the same size or bigger than your newly shrunken partition. I formatted this although I'm not sure this is necessary. Personally I just used the whole drive and used a file on a hard disk as swap. Next you have to use dd to copy the partition.What is important is that you are copying the partition not the drive. So your source would be /dev/sdx1 and target /dev/sdy1 (you will need to find your own values for x&y).

Once again be very careful that you get these the right way around or you will destroy your souce disk. Even better do it in two stages - copy your source to a file and then the file to the target. Now you have a replica of your original disk but it is not bootable. If you are planning to use a swap partition you may as well create it now. Remember you will probably have to change /etc/fstab to read the new swap - at least on my system this was referenced by UUID. No need to change anything for the replicated partition as the UUID came over with everything else.

General :: Make USB Bootable Stick For Installing Fedora Or Centos Using VNC?

Sep 3, 2011

I have a PC with no option for a keyboard. I have to install the operating systems without a keyboard or mouse.

I have to make a bootable USB stick which can allow me to connect to the PC from my Laptop with a VNC connection, then the complete installation using IP to IP. I did this with the following:

Download [URL] Extract the files of .iso to my laptop Add the manual file in CentOS-6.0-i386-minimal/isolinux/ks.cfg

install
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
timezone --utc Europe/Brussels
rootpw --iscrypted $6$i5qEWD.
selinux --disabled

[Code]....

This allows you to modify your original iso files with the new contents and pack it as one .iso file

Finally load unetbootin and burn to your USB or disk or CD

Software :: Syslinux Bootloader Chainloaded To GRUB4DOS? Ultimate Bootable USB?

Jul 14, 2010

if not please redirect to correct area. I will start by saying I know very little about Linux beyond simple usage. My question is about "Syslinux Bootloader chainloaded to GRUB4DOS"

Pendrivelinux has a really awesome utility, one that I have been searching to find for many years. It allows you to put multiple ISOs onto a single USB and selectively boot the images. Mast are live Linux OSs, or repair disks, there is even an option for a Windows install disk. The "menu" is configured for about 30 ISOs right now, and I believe it uses a Grub loader. The link below will take you to the wbsite that hosts the utility download link, lists all the currently supported ISOs, and has the very simple instructions.

url

Once you download the app. there is a file called "menu" that you can edit the list of installed images on the USB drive. I have put:

4-5 Live Linux ISOs
Windows 7 Install files
4-5 rescue CDs

on my USB stick. I deleted the menu items I do not use (a lot of them), and reorganized the menu to my liking.

I know NOTHING about how to figure out the Linux code language. I want to add the following ISO images to the USB, but I am unable to figure out how to write their use into the menu.

Hirens boot CD
Windows XP repair disk
Acronis True Image 2010 recovery disk

I have tried altering already made menus with no success, and I dont even know where to begin. If some of you might be willing to DL the utility, look at the menu structure, I would be very appreciative. I know that you will probably need the ISO images, but they are fairly common. While I am very new here, I am very familiar with forums in general, and would be happy to make a donation for the help, like I said, I have dreamed of such a multiboot solution for many years, and would love to see these added to the options, making it a truly ultimate bootable USB.

Ubuntu Installation :: Creating An Bootable USB Drive For Installing 11.04?

Aug 21, 2011

I have an netbook, a small Asus Eee PC model 1001 PX running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It don't have an optical drive so I wish to make an bootable installation disk with an USB flash drive. I followed the guide on Ubuntus homepage [URL] How to make an USB drive). But it did not work. I have an standard 4 GB USB flash drive which is plugged in. I have formatted it to FAT. And it is now empty.I went to System > Administration -> opened 'Startup Disk Creator'.

I pushed in all the options. But then the system asked for a password. No worries, I thought. It must be my own. But it was not. So my problem is that I am missing a password in order to authorized the installation of Ubuntu 11.04 on the USB drive. what are A. the proper search phrase for it? and B.

Ubuntu Installation :: Bootable USB Error - Cannot Mount Drive

Jan 27, 2010

I am trying to install ubuntu netbook remix on acer aspire one netbook. I used the usb-creator.exe tool to make bootable usb drive. When I boot from the usb drive it comes up to the boot options screen. But when I try to either install or run ubuntu from disk it goes to a black screen and stops or goes to a page long error message saying "cannot mount drive" and a list of command options. I also am not sure if setup gives you the option to reformat the hard drive. Or if this has to be done prior to booting from ubuntu usb-disk.

Ubuntu :: How To Create Bootable Usb Stick

Nov 4, 2010

Running: Ubuntu 9.04 32 bits I'm trying to create an bootable usb drive for installing windows 7 so i took this release"Microsoft.Windows.7.Enterprise.x64.Integrated.Oct ober.2010-BIE"

1. Extracted to get the iso

2. Formated my 8gb usb flash drive with gparted

3. Extracted all the files from the iso with UNetbootin to my usb stick

4. Restarted and selected boot from removable drive in the bios options

After step 4 nothing worked i tried to remove booting from the hdd to force the computer to boot from the usb drive but just get the message that i need to insert an bootable media or restart.

Tried several times and the usb worked propperly while installing ubuntu 9.04 which I run this writing moment. I'm out of ideas and I don't have an cd/dvd reader to boot an dvd from either so via usb is the only thing my knowledge is capable to.

Ubuntu Installation :: Backup Bootable 10.04 USB Stick?

Dec 25, 2010

I'm really chuffed with the first bootable USB stick I created so easily with 10.04 desktop. I've added applications that I want, codecs etc and got the configuration just how I like it. Now I'd like to back up the entire stick, as I use it a lot and the stick will die eventually. I've not used Clonezilla, but I wondered if that would make a copy? It's a 4G stick, with all the remaining space allocated to the casper persistence file.

Ubuntu Installation :: Backup To Bootable USB Stick?

Jan 13, 2011

I would like to back up my current system to a bootable memory stick. (I do not want to create an image of the ubuntu installation disk.)

such a backup should not be a big problem---even after updating 350MB of ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I still have only about 3GB used. so, it should all fit easily onto a 4GB stick.

is there a GUI or script solution that will make a full bootable backup of a running ubuntu system (incl root, etc.)?

Ubuntu :: Install And Make Bootable A Usb Stick?

Feb 10, 2010

how I can install and make bootable a usb stick. I have tried multiple walkthroughs on this subject and not one of them has worked, i am trying to do this via windows, i cant get any workable wifi drivers for linux i have an atheros wifi card. the closest i have come to getting the usb to work is the splash screen then it freezes and this was with linux live usb creator 2.0 it doesn't matter which ones i've tried i can't get them to work no matter what version i try to use. it's driving me mad.

i want the usb to boot without having a hardrive present in the computer. i just got a possible driver that will work for my wifi card and i will put that on the stick too then install it when i get the usb stick to boot into linux. i honestly dont know why there are so many walkthroughs on this subject that dont work it's silly. oh and besides bookmarking each post i make where is the button that links you to your own posts without having to manually search them out?
