Under step two you want to choose the ISO file that you just downloaded, so i go to browse and here it is on my computer, click open, so automatically puts in the ISO file right there. and under step one, which I’m showing on my computer, you want to choose Ubuntu, or whatever your OS of choice might be.

As a bonus it created a persistent flash drive and I was able to apply maintenance and install a couple of extra packages. I went ahead and downloaded Ubuntu for mine, a very simple ISO from the Ubuntu website. Re: cant create bootable usb drive from iso using universal usb installer from pendrive linux Just a followup, I created a bootable USB flash drive with IMAGEUSB and it works very well. So I want to cover some basic ways to get persistence working on your USB flash drive.įirst of you need an ISO version of the Linux OS that you want to use on your drive. The method to create the casper-rw file is intended for rather small USB pendrives, and it will take a very long time for a huge file. Usually a Linux portable drive will only store data in RAM and this data is lost when the RAM loses power and the OS is shut down. The Universal USB Installer creates a casper-rw file for persistence, and she had selected all remaining space for it, which made it huge, because it was in a hard disk drive.
