CD image on a flash drive

There is a huge desire to download the liveCD with the external drive.
Grub4dos can do such things, provided that the iso image will be continuous.
For grub-a find that's the instruction:
1) create a cd sized partition (700 gb or slightly larger) or a dvd sized partition (4.5 gb or thereabouts).
2) format the partition iso9660 (in essence, creating a cd disk on the hard drive).
3) burn the iso to the new partition just as you would burn to cd, specifying cdrom=/dev/hdX,Y (the partition on the drive instead of the cd drive).
The first step is elementary, but 2 and 3 do not know how.
Probyval use dd, but the resulting images are not loaded, and again taken to the grub-menu as well.
wodim uses syntax dev = / dev /..., not cdrom = / dev / hdX, Y. What to write?
For example:
The first image on sdc3, second on sdc4. Recorded with the help of dd. Disks are mounted, are visible.
When booting from external drive, grub on the command root (hd0, 2) or root (hd0, 3) gives: "Unknown file system type 0h83 and return to the menu.lst.
I looked through the possible types for the partition, iso9660 or the like is not found.

Or maybe a Russian one
sdc3 should be (hd2,2)
When booting from a flash drive sdc3=(hd0,2).
In addition to these discs, I still load the archlinux with the first section sdc1 as (hd0,0).
USB_stick. Well, I have written in the first post that he used the dd and I did not get.

  • Why can't LR import dialog see images on my flash drive or drive drive.

    Everything was working great and now LR (version 5.6/camera raw 8.6) import dialog cannot see images on my flash drive or on my hard drive.  I'm using a MacBook Pro Retina running on OS X 10.10  There are no issues using the same flash card on my wife's MBP with LR for imports (uses the same LR S/W version and runs on OS X 10.10 as my MBP).  Also, iPhoto and Preview can read and import the Flashcard images just fine.  I'm puzzled.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Thank you i found disk utilities... however i was reading in another area of the community that if I reformat it on my mac that it wont work on a pc.... The whole reason for doing this is so i can give my rough editted footage to my buddy so he can combine all the footage from our unit and make one big video, and he has a pc. Also if reformatting is the cure to this problem how do i know what to reformat it to. It doesnt tell me partition sizes for each option.

  • MDT Image Deployment Using Flash Drive

    Hi,
    In my environment i am using MDT 2010 image deployment process to deploy Windows XP and Windows 7 OS images,
    As image deployment is foccussed on multiple remote locations we have planned to move with USB Flash drive (Pen Drive) for image deployment,
    The problem occurs here in normal system through diskpart utility i can able to get all the disks including my flash drive but in win pe mode i am unable to get my flash drive listed in diskpart utility.
    so the image deployment process hangs on to the microsoft solution accelerator screen i am unable to predict the actual reason but i can predict this can happen because of mass storage driver problems.
    I tried the same using USB Hard Disk and succeded with the deployment and i am unable to guess what makes difference between USB Hard disk and USB Flash Drive.
    Can you just help me out on this to close the problem ASAP..
    So that i can proceed with my roll out activities.
    Thanks in advance,
    Siva

    Hi,
    At last the image deployment using flash drive works for me.
    I attempted the following steps,
    First i converted the flsh drive to bootable flash drive using diskpart utility,This can be done in Windows 7 Operating system only.
    navigate to cmd and type Diskpart,and enter the below commands,
    List disk
    Select Disk no
    create partition primary
    select partition no
    active
    format fs=ntfs
    Assign
    Exit
    Upon completition,Insert windows 7 DVD to the system and do the following
    Navigate to DVD Drive in my case it is G: and change directory to boot
    G:cd boot
    G:\Boot>Bootsect.exe /nt60 I: where I: is my flash drive
    Then copy the contents to the Usb flash drive and change the first boot device of the target system to local hard disk and deploy the image
    while in Win pe mode use disk part utility to check whether your disk got detected.
    If everything is ok then it will work.
    Thanks for your valuable time.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Siva

  • How do i burn an ISO image to a flash drive?

    I tried to use disk utility and dragged my ISO file into the source box and then my flash drive into the destination box. When i clicked restored and entered in my password i got a dialog box saying "Restore failure, Could not validate source - Invalid arguement". If someone could help me that would be great. I was trying to burn Windows 7 so that way I could install it in bootcamp because I need Windows for school.

    Launch Disk Utility and select File: New: Disk Image From Folder. In the window that appears, navigate to the desired folder and then click on Image. Give the image file a name, and click on Save when prompted. That’s it.

  • Netbook Mini 110-3830NR How do I create a restore image on a flash drive

    I have a HP Mini 110-3830NR Netbook running Windows 7 Starter.
    I want to create a restore image to original factory state.
    The user manual recommends that I create a restore disk.
    It further states that to create a restore image on a USB device, I need at least
    a 16GB device.
    Therefore I purchased a Hp v165 16GB flash drive that actually contains
    14.8 GB of user space.
    I could not find the correct info about creating the disk on the HP support
     web site so I chatted with an HP Support technician. She eventually gave me
    a link to a procedure that would create a restore disk for me.
    Then she said I needed a 32gb flash drive !!
    Is the user manual or the technician correct ??
    Can I use the 16GB (14.8 actual), or must I buy a 32 GB flash drive ??
    Thank You   fljim

    I would just try to create it, the recovery creator should tell you at some point if it is big enough or not, orignally 8gb was big enough for most W7 system's HP sold, but as time passed they had to upgrade the size recommendation to 32gb.
    the 16gb should be large enough for your model.
    This HP document says al least 8gb minimum, use 16gb for best results, very confusing, I agree

  • How do I eject the flash drive from an Officejet 8610 after scanning a file into it.

    I used the front panel controls of my Officejet 8610 to scan an image into a flash drive plugged into the front panel of the 8610.
    The 8610 recognized the presence of the drive just fine, and placed the scanned image on it as desired.
    But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do a controlled ejection of the flash drive.  (I finally did a controlled power-down of the 8610 and removed the drive after the 8610 turned itself off.)
    How do you do eject a flash drive from the front panel USB port?

    @dcollins_mac
    Thank you for your post on the hp.com forums regarding safely ejecting your USB flash drive. In our printers, to remove your USB flash drive, all you need to do is - remove the flash drive. There is really no other method needed. You will not harm the flash drive, printer or files.
    Hope this helps.

  • USB flash drive not being recognized as a startup disk?

    Hi everyone, I've been searching for similar questions but haven't found one that exactly matches my experience.  So, I'm going to try and explain my issue in hopes that others may be able to help.
    I'm trying to create a bootable flash drive from which I can install lion, and eventually Mountain Lion when it is released onto my main hard drive.  My main reason for doing this is  to have a way that I can perform a clean install of the operating system.  Yes, I know I am old fashioned, but sometimes I prefer clean operating system installs rather than upgrading.  In any case, I have downloaded the lion setup file from the Mac app store (Install Mac OS X Lion.app) and am following the directions given on this page to do this procedure.  These directions are consistent with directions found on various other sources online.  Having this file saved to my hard drive, I was able to find and extract the disk image file from the package InstallESD.dmg to another folder.  Once extracted, I plugged in my flash drive and attempted to use disk utility to restore the disk image to my flash drive.  I selected the dmg file as my source and the flash drive as the destination.  I then clicked restore and was warned that all data on the flash drive would be erased while the disk image was restored to my flash drive.  I was prepared for this, so I allowed the process to continue, and it appeared to proceed with no problem.  When disk utility was finished, I did a quick look at my flash drive using finder and confirmed that it did in fact appear to contain a disk image of the .dmg file.  Here's where things get interesting however.
    When I go to system preferences and choose startup disk, my flash drive is not listed as an optional disk from which to boot, only my hard drive ("macintosh HD").  When I restart and hold down the option key, my flash drive is not listed as a startup disk either.  I know that the non-intel based macs are not capable of booting from USB, but this is certainly not my issue as I have an intel macbook pro, mid 2009 model.  My flash drive is about 4 or 5 years old; it is a PNY Technologies Attaché 16 gb flash drive.  I have no trouble viewing and transferring files to and from the flash drive, the only issue is that my computer seems to refuse to recognize it as a startup disk.  Are there certain flash drives which do not support booting?  This would normally seem more like a computer issue rather than a flash drive issue, but most people seem to have no problem doing what I'm trying to do.  Unfortunately I do not have another flash drive with which to test this, and I didn't really feel like buying another flash drive just to test this out if in fact this is not a flash drive issue.  I am planning to upgrade to the macbook pro retina soon which of course does not have an optical drive, which is one of the reasons I would like to get this working.  Can anyone think of something else I can try?  Is it more likely an issue with the macbook pro or the flash drive?
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

    The format says Mac OS Extended.  All of the settings were set during the disk image restore process.  Even if I format the flash drive as extended journaled or some other format, all of these settings are reverted when I do the restore from the disk image.  I will just copy all of the information that disk utility has so that you can see it.
    Mount Point :     /Volumes/Mac OS X Install ESD     Capacity :     16.11 GB (16,106,110,976 Bytes)       Format :     Mac OS Extended     Available :     12.3 GB (12,303,499,264 Bytes)       Owners Enabled :     Yes     Used :     3.8 GB (3,802,611,712 Bytes)       Number of Folders :     128     Number of Files :     876

  • How to get captions to go with pictures when saving to a flash drive?

    I JUST SPENT ABOUT 2 WEEKS GETTING NAMES OF PEOPLE AT MY GRANDDAUGHTERS WEDDING AND ADDING TO THE CAPTIONS ALONG WITH PLACE PICTURE WAS TAKEN AND DATE. 
    i JUST COPIED  AND PASTED THEM FROM ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 10 TO A FLASH DRIVE.  HOWEVER, NO CAPTIONS.  hOW DO i DO THAT?????

    OK, for your family to do that, you don't really want to have the caption written on the picture:  for them to "delete it to print just the picture", that caption would have to be saved as a separate layer, and the image saved in a format that supports layers like PSD or TIF.  Then, your family members would have to mess around with some kind of image editing software that would allow them to hide that layer with the caption before printing it, and so on....
    Here's what to try (and you can test the procedure yourself on your computer):
    Right-click on a photo in the Organizer and choose "Add Caption".
    Write your caption and click "OK".
    Use File...Export As New File(s) to export that image to your flash drive.
    Use Windows Explorer to look at the image on your flash drive.  At the bottom of the Windows Explorer window, you'll see the various pieces of info about the picture, and your caption will be listed as the "Title".
    Although you have to do steps 1 and 2 one-at-a-time for each photo, when you're done with those steps, you can highlight all the images and do step 3 for all of them at once.
    Does that accomplish what you're looking for?

  • Is my Recovery Flash Drive going to be corrupted, too?

    Hi.  A nasty computer virus recently infected my HP Pavillion g7-1338dx which operates Windows 7 Premium Home Edition. This happened when my free trial anti-virus software expired without any countdown or warning leaving me unprotected while online and I immediately got infected. 
    I thought I had conquered it but it seems to have corrupted my OS.  I cannot open Windows Security Center, use the firewall, update my drivers, and I am even denied access to my local drive. 
    I would like to use recovery to revert back to an out-of-box state.  I am a bit of a computer novice (but learning quickly due to this problem) and I wish I had created disks the day I bought the computer.  Out of ignorance, I did not.
    I created a recovery image on a USB flash drive this evening.  My intention was to file that away in case of future emergencies.  After creating the image on the flash drive, I attempted to use F11 to perform recovery by accessing the partioned part of the hard drive. The result was a blue screen telling me that my attempt failed because the files were either absent or corrupt.
    So, this leads me to my question. If I cannot use F11 to perform this task because the files are corrupt, what about this flash drive I just created?   Will it also contain corrupt files? Is my only option ordering disks from HP at this point?  Would scanning the flash drive with my Kaspersky do any good? 
    Sorry for the long post.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    There's no way of knowing for sure if the recovery files on the flash drive are Ok or not, although as the recovery partition ( from which the flash drive files are created ) is corrupt, I would tend to assume the flash drive may well be affected.  If this is the case, scanning the flash drive may well remove Malware, but it's still more than likely that the recovery process will fail if the files on the flash drive have been altered or corrupted in any way.
    There are Two main options I'd suggest.
    The first, as you mention yourself, would be to order a replacement set of Recovery Discs from HP.
    The second is as follows.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    You can create an installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the exact same version that originally came with your notebook ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  These Images are clean and from a well-respected source, however there are only limited versions available.
    Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Can OSX secure a 'Flash Drive'

    I read in Wikipedeia that starting with Panther, apple software makes it possible to
    secure the data on a usb flash drive. Allegedly in Disk Utility. But have not found it.
    I assume it to mean password protect the flash drive.
    Any help?

    ON THE SECURE disc image on the flash drive. It worked the first time; but on three subsequent times the flash drive has been plugged in it fails to ask for the password for the disc image file and opens the financial file directly.
    Why????
    When you created the image and entered a password, you probably had "Remember Password (add to Keychain)" checked.  That means on your own computer, you do not have to ask for the password, as it is saved in the keychain.  On any other machine, you would probably be asked for the password.
    I believe you can remove that password from your keychain using Keychain Access.app in your utilities folder.  Ahh, yes you can.  Just find the name of the image in the list in Keychain Access and select delete from the edit menu.

  • I need help installing reinstalling Windows 8 from factory supplied flash drive please

    I recently bought an Acer Aspire V5 laptop with Windows 8.  I installed Ubuntu to take advantage of a few applications I like, and then realized that two of the main business applications that I need would not run on Ubuntu (none of the Windows emulators
    would work).
    Before I installed Ubuntu, I created a recovery image on a flash drive, but that failed when I tried to go back to Windows.  I ordered a new recovery flash drive from Acer, and I get the following error- restore failed- can not find image path:M:\recovery
    image\install.wim.
    The acer support person advised me to use a third party application to format the hard drive, so I used gparted to complete the format.  I attempted to restore the disk again (using the exact instructions from this forum), and I get the same error.
    While the flash drive is attempting to  restore the factory image, I do see that the recovery image drive M created, and the install.wim being applied.
    Does anybody have any ideas how I can fix this issue?  Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    A recovery flash drive cannot function as a installation disc, thus I suggest you contact the Acer for the right process of restoring the image. Especially for the requirements for the restore condition.

  • Partitioning flash drive, size differential

    In Disk Utility, when I format and partition an 8GB flash drive it starts out saying an 8GB partion will be created. 
    When it's done, it reads:
    Size: 7.66 GB (not unusual)
    Available space: 2.26 GB
    The blue area of the box is only part way filled in.  When I resize the thing up to the blue, so that the Available space reads Zero KB, the Size then reads 5.4 GB, exactly the difference between 7.66 and 2.26.
    What does that mean? There's nothing on the drive. I did an Erase and tried again, but same thing.
    I'm confused.

    Do this. Forget the missing manual. I've done this routine many times, and I know it works. Be sure that your USB flash drive is properly prepped:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

    Use the Boot Camp Assistant to create a CD or USB media to install the latest Boot Camp drivers for your computer. You should get the newest drivers available any time you install Boot Camp.
