It is particularly good for pre-release testing and new releases, when the standard tools like Unetbootin might not be ready (if the configuration of the booting has been changed since the previous release). This method with dd has a high success rate. Use isohybrid only, if the USB drive does not boot after installing using mkusb. The Ubuntu iso files are already treated with isohybrid. Isohybrid should be run only once, and many iso files are already treated before uploading to the internet. Once again, all previous data or 'persistent' data will be lost.Ĭloning an iso file to a mass storage device makes a boot drive, provided it is a hybrid iso file, post-processed with isohybrid. To convert the USB (or mass storage device) from bootable back to ordinary storage, you must reformat it ( make a new partition table and file system). mkusb clones the ISO 9660 file system with its content from the iso file, overwriting any existing filesystem and data. WARNING: mkusb will overwrite the entire target deviceĪll existing data on your USB device (or mass storage device) will be lost when you use mkusb to convert the device from storage into bootable media.
