Hey, Im using Ubuntu-based system, and I have USB flash drive that I burned Arch (I think Arch) on it (burn it with Windows), now I want to burn Debian on the USB flash drive with my Ubuntu-based system, how can I do it ?
I think it's need to format the USB flash drive before its burning the new ISO (because its already have ISO on it)
To use UNetBootin, first format flash drive as FAT32, then run UNetBootin.
I usually use dd to do this. No need to format the drive first, just write the data to the raw device. UNetBootin will set up things like a persistence file, which applies only to the Ubuntu variants last I checked, so no need to make it complicated for Debian.
At a prompt:
Code:
sudo dd if=image_file.iso of=/dev/<device name>
Now, I find some for some reason, some PCs won't boot it if not written with a specific block size. If this is the case, just try again with a block size of 1 Megabyte (always works for me).
