[title] [Backup solution] Writing to the USB drive (Unetbootin) | |
[* icon_reminder] ***Unetbootin is being archived as a backup option, in the event Rufus has issues. I recommend using Rufus over Unetbootin if you have the choice. Unetbootin predates Hybrid ISO's, so it may cause problems with ISO's from the past ~5 years. It can also have problems with NTFS formatted drives as well; it works best with FAT32.*** | |
[* black] Download [https://unetbootin.github.io/|Unetbootin], and put it somewhere you can quickly find it later. | |
[* red] Select ***Diskimage*** and make sure ***ISO*** is selcted. Depending on where you put the ISO, you may need to find the folder you put it in when you select the ISO to write to the drive. The default folder will likely be ***Downloads or Documents and Settings***, unless you chose a different location. | |
[* orange] With the ISO ready to write to the USB drive, click on the box that says ***...***. The default location will be ***Downloads or Documents and Settings***, unless you chose a different location on the hard drive. | |
[* yellow] After selecting the ISO to write to the drive, click ***OK***. This will start the writing process. You do not need to flag the drive as bootable manually, as the utility will do this for you. | |
[* icon_reminder] Unetbootin allows you to set persistent file storage space aside, but this only works with Ubuntu. This is purely optional and you do not have to use it unless you want to. | |

+ | [* icon_note] ***For users who require a CD/DVD to boot a OS or systems with buggy USB boot implementations:*** Refer to [guide|54074|this guide] if you need a CD/DVD to boot the system. ***This will not apply to most users, since most systems can boot off of USB directly. If you somehow need to use a CD/DVD to boot, this is my suggested workaround***. |
