bootable - Bootable USB

How to make bootable USB from ISO :

UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux distributions without burning a CD. It runs on both Windows and Linux. You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file if you've already downloaded one or your preferred distribution isn't on the list.

Using KONBOOT image
There are 2 types of Kon-Boot images. The floppy image and CD ISO. You can use UNetbootin, a tool that allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD. The trick here is to use the floppy image instead of the CD ISO. If you don’t get what am I saying, just follow the few simple step-by-step on how to burn Kon-Boot ISO to USB.

2. Download Kon-Boot floppy image and extract the zip file to get FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img file.

4. Run UNetbootin, select Diskimage, click the drop down menu to select Floppy and browse for the FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img file.
ISO to USB

5. Make sure USB Drive is selected for Type and the drive letter is the USB flash drive that you want to install Kon-Boot. Click OK. It should take a few seconds to finish installing Kon-Boot floppy image into your USB.

6. You can click the Reboot Now button and boot up your computer with USB. You may have to set your BIOS to do that. On newer computers, there should be a hotkey to show the Boot Menu. My MSI motherboard hotkey is F8.

7. If you get it right, you should see a UNetbootin screen with 10 seconds countdown to select Default from the list. You can either hit enter to immediately boot Kon-Boot or just wait until 10 seconds for UNetbootin to automatically boot the default profile for you.

8. When you see the Krypto Logic screen, hit a key to continue. Just wait for Windows or Linux to boot normally. Now you can login to any user account without entering a password!

I have no idea why UNetbootin doesn’t work with Kon-Boot CD ISO image file, maybe it is not compatible. However, you can see that UNetbootin supports a pretty good amount of linux distros and possibly other ISO that is not in the list. Well at least we got Kon-Boot into USB thanks to the floppy image file.
