no matter how I do it inside linux any program any setting, my boot image is never detected by my computer's bios
however when I use the almighty rufus it works every single time without a hitch and this is why I always keep a windows computer handy
Is this the true power of linux, anons?
UNetBootin, retard
Install Windows and use Rufus.
have
Enjoy having bootloaders replaced by shit
Use fucking dd
dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdx
that is w hat i do
i love linux but when it comes to writing linux iso's to a USB there really isn't anything better than windows
again, i have done this, but when i boot my bios doesn't detect the USB
why can't somebody just give me something that actually works, like rufus does
Windows writes shit 4 times slower and causes USBs to perform worse for whatever the fuck reason.
>bios doesn't detect the USB
First, you should point dd to the device, not a partition on the device.
Second, you should make sure that the drive is marked as bootable. If you've done your dd right, it should be.
Finally, be aware of BIOS and UEFI differences.
You obviously did something wrong then, it works on Xubuntu
>greatest free operating system
>requires proprietary operating system to be installed
at least they write and perform
So does Linux, OP is retarded.
my computer does not have a UEFI
ASUS M5A 78 L-M
Advertises USB3.0 as a selling feature
are we talking about operating systems or USB drives here? or have you just lost the plot?
Both
OP is correct, dding an isofs is retarded and will give you a read only stick until you reformat
>operating systems or usb drives
>or
Hello, autist

i actually am diagnosed autistic
what now
yes
You fucked up something.
what this guy said, it won't work if you're pointing it at /sdb1 or /sdb2
change into the directory with your iso, su and
dd if=./system.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M status=progress
also you need to legacy boot into the device, booting UEFI will not work
it works,
Yea if you fuck up dd you probably aren’t qualified to rate Linux as a whole. I use dd on both Mac and Linux and it works absolutely fine
>why is linux so bad at writing its own iso's to ZIP diskettes?
ftfy
I tried many but Rufus is the only one that actually made my Void Live CD image boot as UEFI and therefore install as UEFI.
>why is linux so bad at
Because it's second-rate.
You're not making an exact copy. UNetBootin and Rufus think the Linux ISOs don't have the ability to boot on its own and modify the image. This fucks it up. I'm told there is a dd like option on one or both of those programs now. This is what you should use. There is some cross platform electron based POS image writer which writes proper images as well, but it's 80MB. Win32DiskImager does the job, but the option to search for non .img files confuses people. dd is truly the best, but confusing on OSX, and non existent on WIndows.
I've had this happen once, in like a hundred times.
I've also done a clean windows install twice on the same machine I currently have. Last time I made a new usb stick and it worked perfect. The time before I had made one, it refused to work in gtp mode, finally I burned a dvd with the same iso and it worked.
I have that motherboard, I've done it with dd and a USB stick.
>3.0
if the USB 3.0 doesn't work, try using USB2.0 port?
