I know that there is a lot of software and even in Windows or Linux you can just use commands to do it, but all these alternatives needs to FORMAT the usb stick.
What I'm looking for is some alternative to create an usb booteable stick without the need of formatting it.
That's because I usually have an usb stick that I use to transport files and everything, and I don't like having to backup thes
I have mounted a USB stick with Stick Mount but cannot find the sda1. I have sda2 thru sda12, but no 1 (one) in ES File Explorer. Any tips where that could be hiding.
I run XFCE4 on Ubuntu 11.10.
When I plug in a USB memory stick, I get two new windows popping up, both showing the contents of the memory stick. One is Thunar (which I want) and one is nautilus (which I don't).
Before I plug in the stick, nautilus isn't running at all. Something is spawning it, but I don't know what, or how to stop it.
I'm running Lubuntu 12.10 and everything was going fine until yesterday. Whenever I try and use an SD card or USB stick/USB hub it won't recognize it in the file manager.
I ran lsusb which recognized the Kingston Datatraveler USB that I'm trying to use, but when I ran ls /dev/sd* it came up with
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5
WITH the USB stick still in.

I'm trying to copy a USB stick that I purchased that's supposed to contain a bootable desktop with a bunch of applications like firefox, openoffice, etc. The USB stick somehow actually contains two devices. One has a vfat filesystem and the other appears to be NTFS.
Installing from a hard drive requires some work. Do you have a USB stick at hand? You could easily create a bootable USB stick with the Crunchbang ISO on it and install from that media. If you are using Windows, try the LinuxLive Installer (lili) -- when you are Linux user already, use the dd tool to copy the (hybrid) ISO to the stick.
I have An Acer Aspire 1362 Laptop with AMD Sompron 2800+ processor and only 256MB RAM, with Windows XP installed. I have downloaded Lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso and installed it to a 16GB USB stick. I do not want to install Lubuntu on my hard drive (yet!).
I have got the USB stick to boot, and am working my way through the menu.
