How to make USB stick bootable?
Hi!
I tried: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/sda1 Basically, I have System Rescue CD on my CDRom and wanted to transfer it on a USB which should be bootable. After issuing the command above, nothing happened. Help pls. Thanks. |
i also had the same problem but i used the setup on this website to help out try this
http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm but should you not be able to just press Fsomething and then pick from the boot list if all the files are on the usb. |
I'll try this one. I just thought "dd" command will do the job. I tried dd to copy CD and save it as an iso image. Guess I'm wrong on this one. Thanks.

Try using grub-install or lilo to produce an mbr on the pendrive device. I think that it should be treated as a hard drive and not a CDROM.
