I tried making a boot-able flash drive like described in the install guide, here, on the wiki.Using Unetbootin - did it - didn't boot from the flash drive (just doesn't work).I thought: Hei, I'll do it again maybe I did something wrong.No way - my flash drive is now 8MB (and it was a 32GB FLASH DRIVE!!).I tried everything, fdisk, diskpart in windows, Killdisk ...
Hello guys
I purchased a brand new Lap Top Asus zenbook Prime, and I tried to install Backtrack 5 r3 on in it but i couldn't,
My problem was I Boot thru a flash drive because the lap doesn't have a dvd-rom, so on the boot screen option i had 2 option for flash drive

I am trying to install Ubuntu 64-bit alongside Windows 8 32-bit. I have burned multiple discs with Ubuntu 64-bit and 32-bit and I mounted the .iso file to a USB flash drive. I went into bios and changed the boot preference to CD/DVD when I was attempting to boot from the DVDs and removable drive when I was attempting to boot from the flash drive.
I realize I can burn a DVD of the ISO for any OS (ubuntu, server 2012 etc) to install a new VM but this seems like a waste. I just installed XenServer 6.1 and would rather just copy the .iso onto a flash drive on my windows laptop, plug it into XenServer (I can see it in XenCenter under removable storage) and install from there instead of burning a few DVDs.
I'd like to fully install Ubuntu 12.10 onto a 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive, not create a live USB but to treat the flash drive as an external hard drive. I've read it's possible and I know my computer can boot from it. However, it doesn't work when I try. I've booted a Live USB from another flash drive and installed Ubuntu onto the 16GB one.
I have Ubuntu 11.04 full install on a 16G flash drive and it has the latest updates and run fine.
I was wondering if i should now upgrade to 11.1 and then finally to 12.04 on the drive?
If i do that are there potential problems, bugs etc?
Or should i just do a full 12.04 install on a new 16G flash drive and work out the bugs etc, that pop up and leave my 11.04 flash drive by itself since i have

How can I use a USB flash drive to boot Linux from a partition on (another) hard drive?
I'm trying to install Linux on an encrypted partition on the hard drive (using LVM on LUKS).
Since /boot must be on a separate, unencrypted partition, I would like to store it on a USB flash drive.
My plan was to install GRUB (2) to the flash drive (/dev/sdb) and boot Linux from it's MBR, or if the drive was
