I want to make a multiboot USB stick. I extracted XP.iso into a folder then added winvblock driver that lets ISO load into memory. Now I want to pack folder into iso but it's not that simple since it must be bootable. Is there such a tool that let me pack folder into iso?  EDIT: It's not a duplicate of above mentioned link. I asked to make a bootable iso from folder. In the link it mentions how to create iso image from a folder which is very easy. Anyway I found the answer here:

I was using:  dd  if=/path/to/my/ubuntuiso/ubuntu.iso  of=/dev/sdb1  bs=4M  &amp;&amp;  sync   In order to create bootable Ubuntu USB drives on older Ubuntu versions. It was working perfectly. Sometimes I used the Startup Disk Creator program, which  worked well.  But when I use the same methods on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I get some warnings while formatting it afterwards.   The installation media works as expected, but when I try to format that USB stick after my work is done, I get the following warning :    The partitioning of that Pendrive looks strange :    And it also shows my 16GB pendrive as 64GB.  After struggling a lot with Gparted, I will somehow format it. But Why is it happening like this ?? Is there any better methods of creating bootable Ubuntu in 16.04 ?  EDIT : there is a related question . But my question is not about how to format it properly. My question is "How to create a bootable USB without that errors." &amp; "Wht are the causes of that error"

I have a bootable CD image that I would like to transfer to a USB stick, so that I can boot from it. The Startup-Disk creator doesn't support it. How can I make a bootable USB disk from it? The ISO is quite old so that might be a problem.

What I need to achieve is   Create a Bootable USB drive from Windows 7 iso image using a Mac running. Use the flash drive to boot and install windows on a PC (not Mac)   What I'm looking for is an app like  but one that can run from OS X. This app make a bootable flash drive from a Windows iso image. I found a mac alternative to WinToFlash a while ago, but I don't remember the name.  All I can find is questions about making a bootable usb from a mac to a mac. I want to repair a Windows PC that doesn't startup but I have a working Mac computer, the target computer is a PC (not Apple).  A PC can't boot from a USB created with bootcamp which have MBR based BIOS.  UNetbootin doesn't seems to work with Windows iso's just Linux iso's.  P.S. the target PC have BIOS, it doesn't have UEFI.

I wanted to make a bootable USB drive using Rufus. I opened the program went with all the default options and I clicked start BUT what I forgot to do is to select an iso because I thought it would just make the disk bootable without selecting anything. Unfortunately it did not. It gave me an error. I do not remember it because this was about 6 months ago after I gave up in fixing it. Anyway I tried to reformat it again using diskpart and it fails. With Rufus it says "ERROR while partitioning drive" and I think that was the initial error as well. Also during the struggle I got messages from windows saying that the disk is write protected and NO, there is no switch for that on the USB pendrive.   More info:     Transcend 16 GB     Rufus 1.4.9,     Frustrated student :/

I want to open a ISO file, add files and then burn it to a disc.  By example, I get the . That ISO have 2.6mb, and if I burn the iso, I will lost the remainder 697mb of the disk!   To burn the ISO, I use CD Burner XP or ImgBurn, but I don't know which free tool I can use to add/remove files before burn.  Thank you very much!

I am looking to create a USB flash drive that I can put multiple  ISO images on and select which boots from startup. The ideal candidate supports Linux and Windows-based ISO images, and is relatively simple. It also must have some reasonable process for adding and removing an ISO image from the drive/list.    Things that I'm not looking for in this specific question:    or other swiss-army knife live CDs. The point is to boot any one of multiple CDs, not to boot a (certainly useful) utility CD. Installing a single live CD to a USB drive. I'd like to have multiple ISO images, selectable at startup.   I don't have a specific purpose in mind, possibilties include a single drive with a  variant, Ubuntu desktop, UBCD4Win for DOS, the Offline NT Password Cracker, etc.  Flexible and easy to use are the name of the game!

How would I go about creating a CentOS 7 bootable USB drive with Windows? I've read  and it says that Unetbootin and Universal USB installer won't work for CentOS 7. In addition, I've already tried dd for Windows, and that didn't work properly either - booting from the USB drive resulted in a "Machine Check Error".

I made a bootable USB drive of the downloadable Ubuntu 16.10, ran, and installed from it.  Fine.  Now after making some stock additions (like Samba, Wine, and such) I'd like to make a USB bootable copy of my particular Ubuntu.  It's still plenty small enough to fit on a stick.  Can it be done?

I want to burn Ubuntu Minimal CD ISO to an old, 1 GB USB thumbdrive. Regular ISO doesn't fit. I already tried Startup Disk Creator and Unetbootin but both failed. I tried installing GRUB and pointing it to boot like this:  insmod part_msdos linux /linux initrd /initrd.gz   but it doesn't work. I also tried dd but I ended up with not bootable drive.  Rufus worked on Windows with the same thumbdrive but I no longer use Windows.  What else can I do?

Greeting's, to clarify; my question is not creating a Live USB drive or a persistence partition but creating a USB with GRUB bootloader (or other) and Kali which can be used on any machine. This is similar to running other linux OS directly from USB. I am currently running Ubuntu from a pen drive. I installed the OS (Ubuntu) and the bootloader on the pen drive and I can boot off it anywhere. Here is a video explaining the same (video is not by me: )  Since, Kali's installer doesn't give option to select which drive to write the booloader to and directly writes on the HDD (sda1). This means even if I partition and install Kali on a pen drive since the bootloader will be installed on the machines fixed primary drive, the USB drive will fail to boot on a different device.  I have two questions:   Anyone has any idea how to write bootloader to a USB drive and what parameters should be given so that it boots with Kali installed on it. I am using graphic install mode for installing Kali on the USB drive, however there is no option for the install to be encrypted (Full disk encryption or at least /home folder to be encrypted). Does anyone know how can I install Kali with full disk / home folder encryption? Or enable is post install?   Thank You!

I have downloaded Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS from .  In order to create a bootable DVD it is asking for an ISO image which I haven't found in the download folder.  Where is the .iso file?

I am a newbie to all of this stuff.  Initially I had a OS CD of Ubuntu 10.4 version. I never tried to install it. Now I have lost my CD somewhere. Earlier I copied the content to my laptop. When I tried to install by copying to another CD/pendrive it didn't install.  Now i am using Windows. But I would like to install Ubuntu, because everyone said that Linux/Ubuntu is an amazing OS.  So I searched in google for a solution. With Unetbootin, pendrive linux, I can make a bootable pendrive to install. But Unetbootin asks for an ISO-image. I did many experiment and wastes more than 9 CD's. I have no experience with that. Where can I get the ISO-image? Actually, what is an ISO-image?
