Unetbootin usb hard drive7/20/2023 ![]() I cannot boot my PC anymore, so I've made a Multisystem USB key, and from it, I use either Unetbootin or Multisystem-program (included in this distro) to make a bootable USB disk. If you installation medium is an USB card, you can use your Android phone, or an Android OS on PC (Bliss-OS/Android-x86, Phoenix OS, PrimeOS.), and run Etchdroid or DriveDroid, or other similar apk apps.Įven if it was possible, I won't trust Unetbootin to install ISO to SD Card anyway, as it was not made for this.įor instance, I'm using right now Unetbootin under another LiveCD OS. It's a very very good thing that they removed the option "show all disks", as some users installed the live ISO directly to the disk that was in use, and obviously, broke all their installation, being unable to boot again in the OS they used to run Unetbootin. So, be careful to format the USB disk (or key, or whatever, but not SD card), with a FAT32 format, nothing else. It's not your USB disks that are not recognized, it's your partition format that aren't. And if you ever need to delete an installed system, simply click the "View or remove installed distros".Īs per the comments, it looks like Lili USB creator also works. Whenever you want to add another after this initial run, all you have to do is start the program and follow the above instructions. This tool is put together by the friendly creator of I have used it before, and to get what you need from it simply: plug in your external hard drive, start the program, select the "Show All Devices" tick box, select your drive, Tell it the distro you are using, navigate to it, and click create.Īs stated earlier when this process completes you will be asked if you want to add another iso/distro. You will need to use YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Integrator) to perform this task. But this method should allow you to boot multiple ISOs from your external hard drive. I don't have an extra hard drive laying around to test it with. I have found a system that will work for what you want to do, well, in theory anyway. Other then that your best bet is using Linux distros with Live USB systems, and installing the full systems using the Live USB install. Something like Virtual Box will allow you to not only test, but install full Linux systems within your Windows system. However, if all you want to do is test Linux systems without needing to work with partitions, I would recommend looking at a Virtualization system. This means there is NO way to do this using Unetbootin. This is how we burned our ISO on a USB flash drive, easy and relatively fast.Unetbootin used to support this, but it has since been removed. ![]() We make the pertinent checks and make sure everything is in order before continuing.Īfter pressing OK, UNetbootin itself will proceed to burn the image we had chose in the USB device. IMG) that we already had.īelow we have two fields to select the type of unit and the specific unit that we want to work with, which in our case is USB Drive (although Hard Drive can also be selected). DiskImage, we can select a disk image (*.Once that is done, the distribution we have chosen will be downloaded from the internet. Distribution, in which we will select the GNU / Linux distribution of our system and its version.There are two options to burn the ISO image on the USB: UNetbootin is a simple application to use. In our case it has been enough to use the command "sudo unetbootin" in Terminal. It may seem obvious, but do not forget to run UNetbootin with root privileges. Then we will have UNetbootin in our system. You will access the UNetbootin download repository, update it and then download it. Sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install unetbootin To do this, open a Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and enter the following: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gezakovacs /ppa ![]() The first thing we need is to download UNetbootin. Installation of UNetbootin from USB flash drive Please note, it does not support several installations on the same device.
