Easy way to put a ISO image on a USB Stick (bootable USB drive)

From time to time I need to test out a live (Linux) system on a PC , without erasing the

Current OS (typical Windows).

I found a free great cross platform (Mac,Pc,Linux) program called UNetbooting that

does this.

Instead of downing a live ISO system and burning it on a CDROM its much easier just to put it on a USB drive.

I also use Clonezilla to clone PC’s (and Mac’s) they quite often release new versions,

So in this case its very nice to be able (re)use a USB drive.

Remember everything on the USB drive will be deleted – backup !.

In this example I am going to “burn” a Clonezilla ISO to a USB Drive.

Download the CloneZilla ISO from the “live” section on their homepage

Before starting the program – insert the USB Drive in your computer

Choose the “DiskImage” option (since we want a ISO file on a USB )

Click on the “browse” button and choose the ISO – and click on “OK

The “burning” process takes about 30 sek. for the Clonezilla ISO

All Done, press “Exit

Before turning on the PC- insert the USB drive and remember to choose to boot from the USB device,

when starting the PC.

On a DELL – you press F12 to choose this.
