Ubuntu :: Unable To Create Bootable USB For 11.04?
May 4, 2011
I followed the directions on the Ubuntu site and on the forum but am still unable to make one.I used the Universal USB installer (as directed by the Ubuntu download page) and the unetbootin utility as found on a thread in the forums. To ensure that it was not the USB drive, I've used a Kingston drive and a SanDisk drive. Both report "no Operating System found" when attempting to create the drive.I'm using Win7 x64 to create the bootable drive, and ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso as the image.

I have a customized XP installation disk created for my company. However, my office does not require several of the applications that are installed by default. Also, some configuration settings are incorrect. I have extracted the XP installation files and can perform an install using those files from a running system, but I cannot boot from the CD.
I have tried just about every suggestion I can find on the net except purchasing a third-party burning application to do this. I tried burning both CDs and DVDs using floppy boot images, but XP will not install in a "DOS environment". I've also tried ripping the boot sector directly from a bootable CD/DVD and using that without success. Finally, I ripped ISO images and tried ripping the boot sector from those, also without success. I've also tried various file system type settings in K3b, including Joliet, Linux/Windows, UDF, and DOS compatible, all without success. Surely there must be a way to do this?
PS--I tried posting this to the K3b mailing list first but was rejected, even after creating an account with Sourceforge!? Didn't want to have to submit a support request just to submit a support request.

I downloaded fedora14 iso and burned it straight to a cd but on reboot, it booted from my hd. My bios is set to boot from cd first.Next I extracted the iso to a subdirectory and burned that to a cd, creating a boot disk using the img file in the [BOOT] directory. When I rebooted, I got a cursor in the top left corner of the screen and nothing else

I want to install SLES11 with my usb key but I couldn't to make it bootable. Because my server are only a cdrom drive, not dvd... I read the following document : SuSE install from USB drive - openSUSE but it doesn't run! So I can mount/umount the usb and linux could see him:
Code:
mount /dev/sda /mnt/usb
but the fsck.vfat doesn't run :
Code:
fsck.vfat /dev/sda1 open /dev/sda1:No such file or directory

I am attempting to use SuseStudio "preload" and "live" .iso images and the instructions at SDB:Live USB stick - openSUSE to create a bootable USB drive.dd_rescue ends after the expected amount of time--without reporting errors--yet "fdisk -l" reports that the device does not contain a valid partition table. The USB key does not boot and appears to have no data.
For what it's worth, my build host is Gentoo on 2.6.39, and I have the latest dd-rescue available. The USB disk is a PNY attache 4GB and works fine with any ISO's supported by unetbootin. The only other bare metal I have here is a netbook running Mepix, so I can't make use of solutions that start with "Boot your existing OpenSuse workstation

I am running ubuntu 9.10 on my pc, trying to update the bios on a thinkpad a31. I'm trying to create a bootable iso disk from the downloaded file from ibm (spsuiv69.exe) it is currently sitting on my desktop.
To be clear - I am having trouble making the .exe file an iso. I read this is the best way to update bios on a linux machine, if there are better ideas - whatever works.

I lose my W7 DVD a couple of times and im tired of making DVDs when i can just create a Bootable USB but the only thing wrong is that i know of ...you can only create Ubuntu USB in Ubuntu.... In Windows you can create a Windows USB with progrmas and UBuntu as well... SO since windows can make multiple USB bootable... Does Ubuntu have a Program that will allow me to Create a Bootable Windows 7 USB?

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.

I need to create a bootable SD card for my OLPC XO and am trying to use UNetbootin on my Ubunto system. I have the img on a USB thumb drive and need to now create the bootable SD card. I am trying to use Unetbootin and there I can see my USB drive: /media/PENDRIVE/XtraOrdinary_2010_for_XO-1_Download_Edition.img
So far so good.
"But" the target only lists devices:
/dev/sda1
/dev/shm
/dev/sdf1
/dev/sdd1
/dev/sda
[Code]...

I have created a bootable USB with PowerISO in Windows 8, and the device is now booting. Why any of the solutions below creates a bootable ISO correctly? I would like to know what to do in case I have to create a bootable ISO again, but without using Windows. I have been searching about this, but I couldn't manage to find the solution.
System: ASUS laptop, Debian 7.8 Wheezy, Secure Boot disabled, Fast Boot disabled..I'm trying to create a bootable USB from an ISO image. The ISO image is PelicanHPC, a Debian-live based clustering distro, to create a home cluster with some computers just to try how it works.I have tried several ways of creating the bootable USB.
* Unetbootin
The Unetbootin loader is showing Default but when I press ENTER it will only show the same loader, not loading the kernel.
* dd and cp
I have tried dd standalone, and also as I could see in other websites, using isohybrid first on the ISO. I have tried setting/not setting as bootable partition /dev/sdb1 in fdisk. Using default bs and bs=4M too, without success.
I have tried running cp isoimage.iso /dev/sdb1, without success booting.
Then I tried booting the ISO image without USB from the local hard disk.
* grub-imageboot
Adding the ISO image to /boot/images and then running update-grub, but then, it won't boot, it keeps loading for a long time, 15 minutes, showing the splash image of the default grub (Debian's bootloader). I could read in the docs that it does not boot every ISO images.
* adding manually a menu entry to GRUB
I have created a loopback to the iso file and then loading the kernel (linux and initrd.img). This way, it loaded correctly, but when loading the system, an error message was displayed (unable to mount aufs on /root: No such directory) then kernel panic. A shell is prompted, if I do ls, it will display several directories, /root among them.
In boot.log there are 2 messages:
[code]....
I will try now the Unetbootin version from another computer that's running Debian 8 Jessie. There is not any unetbootin package in Debian 8 Jessie.
PelicanHPC is not too old distro, it dates from late 2013.Booting the ISO in a QEMU virtual machine boots and functions correctly, I even created a new virtual machine that boots from PXE and add a node to the master system.

I have a iMac G5 and an eeepc 1000 netbook, and I would like install Fedora 12/13 on it. I have downloaded the Fedora-12-DVD.iso, now that .iso is on my Mac, and I would like to create a bootable usb(8GB) on Mac using the iso file. I did find a few instructions on how to do this in Mac OS X [URL] however, they were concerned with .img files. If I am to expand the iso file I can see several .img files in the img folder and a few in other folder, which do I choose? The obvious choice seemed to be install.iso but it was only 166MB so I thought the whole system could not, possibly be fitted into such a file.

I tried searching the Internet, but could not find a decent tutorial explaining how to create a bootable Ubuntu Linux (10.04) USB installation that could be run not only on a PC but also on Macs and MacBook Pros. In addition, I tried refit, but ended with "Missing operating system" error.Here is basically the layout of my bootable under PC Ubuntu USB drive (using MBR):Partition 1 (ext3, bootable) - Ubuntu Linux 32 bit, contains also grub2 bootloader.Partition 2 (ext3) - Ubuntu Linux 64 bit.Partition 3 (fat32) - contains data.What would be the best way to enable this drive to boot under Mac OS X? And if refit has to be used, could I simply have one more partition on the USB drive containing it?

I'd like to have a bootable cd which then allows me to clone a hard drive, much like the "Ghost" application. I need to copy Fat32, NTFS, as well as the various Linux formats. I've not created a bootable cd before, so a step-by-step would be rather handy.

I am trying to install Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 on my eee pc. I have a macbook pro with built in SD card reader and a 4 gig sd card. I followed the instructions on the ubuntu netbook download page to create the bootable usb media and it appeared to work, but was not bootable for either the eee pc or the macbook.
I also posted under the apple section of the forums here: [URL]... I also tried using VirtualBox to create a virtual machine that I could install ubuntu directly onto the SD card, but VirtualBox can't work with the built in SD card reader apparently.

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 on my sisters computer which I am borrowing until my laptop gets fixed by Dell *sigh*
The only catch was that I had to remove the virus thats been plaguing this computer any means necessary my plan was to delete the windows 7 partition and put Ubuntu in its place temporarily.
My sister didn't have the Windows 7 DVD that was given to her *sigh again* but she did still have the key labeled on the side of the machine. So my plan than included to download that .iso of Windows 7, and then use setup.exe.

I would like to have a bootable disk that starts Grub legacy (not Grub 2). I have the /boot/grub/menu.lst that works for my system. When I had a floppy disk I used the option to create same from Startup Manager, but haven't found a way to create a similar disk.

I'm having a problem creating an USB bootable pendrive, with Debian Jessie stable. I've downloaded the ISO from the site (I have tried with two versions, netinst and gnome). I tried to create the bootable pendrive with the command dd.
Code: Select alldd if=debian-etcetcetc.iso of=/dev/sdb
I put two pendrives that i've dd'ed them on the usb ports, and then typed fdisk -l, it returned this:
Code: Select allDevice Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 * 64 2978975 2978912 1,4G 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS
Disco /dev/sdc: 7,3 GiB, 7784628224 bytes, 15204352 setores
Unidades: setor de 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
[code]...
However, i tried to boot this two pendrives in three PCs and it was not recognized by anyone as bootable system.
