Can't seem to get a bootable USB using unetbootin, live usbcreator, or any other tool I've tried. Reduced to writing dvds. Not hard, but uses my stash. Anyone know of a good program? Ideally, I'd like to put a few live cd/dvds on a 32Gb stick.

For maybe a week unetbootin was failing me with a syslinux error. Today, with the same ISO, same thumb drive dd worked, but Ubiquity crashed: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2015/09/15...el.html#t13:46Originally posted by vsreeser View Post
And neither unetbootin nor dd does multiple ISOs on a single thumb drive, alas.Comment

Use dd, or try mkusb, which is a little gui for this. unetbootin and usb-creator seem to be unable to create working sticks these days.Comment

Use dd.
It works from 11.10 and after because Ubuntu switched to hybrid disk images.

Some reports that UNetbootin not working on Debian UEFI systems.
dd:
As usual, make sure the boot mode is "matched up."
E.g., suppose your computer boots by UEFI mode.
Then choose 64-bit versions of the programs you dd to a flash drive (or, otherwise, program version indicated for "newer" systems), and then boot that flash drive in UEFI mode (by entering your firmware setup and selecting to boot the UEFI version of that flash drive).An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way.

Disabled UEFI on target system as i have no intention of using wi8 (makes my skin crawl) on it ever again. It came with 8 which I promptly wiped when i got it. Father in law found it in a pile of rubble at an abandoned house.. Will play around with suggestions. its not my main machine so can blow it up all I wantOriginally posted by Qqmike View PostComment

Found a Win8 box on a pile of rubble at an abandon house?
Seems like an example of the cost of ignorance: equating Windows with a PC and thinking that since Win8 is worthless the PC must be as well, since they are "one and the same".

I just put grub on a stick and then manually built a grub.cfg that would boot ISOs. Then I just copy the ISO to the stick and edit grub.cfg. Not all ISOs can boot this way but a lot can...

That's neat. As I recall, that's a capability of loopback devices, found with GRUB 2, one of the nice things that came out w/the (at that time) new GRUB2. Booting more than one on the same drive is the issue here, I would think. I need to look at the arch article sometime.oshunluvr: I just put grub on a stick and then manually built a grub.cfg that would boot ISOs.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way.

I think whoever left that house lost part of the cord to the power brick. Cost less than $5 at the store. I had one from an old laptop brick I used. Dog chew the rest of the thing up. Which is why we don't have that dog any moreOriginally posted by GreyGeek View PostComment
