How make bootable usb with Windows XP liveCD from linux (debian)
how to create bootable USB with Windows XP liveCD. For Linux liveCD/DVD I can write cat <debian-iso> > /dev/<flash-drive>
, but in windows case this doesn't works
You can use one of the many programs out there designed for exactly this function. Here are a few of my favorites:
- Live USB multiboot
- unetbootin
- YUMI
Using these apps, you can create a USB that can boot from multiple different ISOs. Including windows.
A great source of information for this kind of thing is the pendrive linux website.
Use dd
, not cat
:
sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
Where sdX
is the name of your flash drive. You can find it using sudo fdisk -l
.
