Stupid but:
I have a 1Gb FAT formated USB key on which I stored the "Debian Live USB Image (462M)" from
www.lxde.org
So how do I make it bootable from WinXP???
Thanks.
P.S. On lxde.org, indicating the version and package list would be nice

You mustnot store it, to have it bootable.
You need to apply it to the USB stick, so flashing ALL the data on it.
On GNU/Linux you could do that with
Code: Select all
dd if=<IMAGE.img> of=/dev/<USB-DEVICE>
. But I dont know how to do it on Windows.

Hi
What about using another LIVECD, like Knoppix and make the stick from there?

I haven't tested it with lxde debian live cd, but I believe that you could transfer it to a bootable usb with
unetbootin. - That way you don't have to loose your data on the usb drive.

Unetbootin is quite easy for create a bootable usb key.
It works with many iso files .
