How can I make a liveusb from Windows?

Hi there!

I really want to try XBMC but I dont currently have a burner near me. So is there a way to make a liveusb from Windows XP?

I tried it with unetbootin (Or what is it called) and it booted everything up to the xbmc live booting screen then it just had a blinking _.

Is that an issue with my pc or did unet not do the job correctly?

I also have Dreamlinux installed.

program is flashboot - try to find it in www

My usb drive is already bootable. And Im sure UNET did its job in making sure it was.

So if u so smart and didn`t download and start soft from my advice - i think u don`t need any advices.

Hi there,

I'm sorry I didnt mean to be mean. So I tried the Flashboot and it had the same _ problem. Did it work for you?

thanks!

Yes for me it works fine.
I trashed old hdd and now i use USBflash

So just to make it straight.
You go to flashboot then you click on "Create bootable flash disk as a compy of bootable CD-ROM disk (*).

Then you load the ISO file.
Then make bootable USB Flash disk which is physicallly present on the PC.
Then Partitioned disk (USB-HDD boot mode)

I do all that and it says when I boot it up "Can't find Kernel Linux"

Thanks for you help!

Yes i used this way - and it works

sorry, but i`m no so good in linux - may be u have usb flash with additional (for example kingston u3) software and partitioning?

Ok, I'm not sure how exactly to go about doing this, can someone give take a moment and explain to me how this is done. I have a 4gb stick, I have the flashboot, I downloaded the latest xbmc live image.

Which option is selected in Flashboot?
Is it Create bootable flash disk as a a copy of bootable CD-ROM disk

How do I exactly copy the XBMC image to the stick?

Do I mount the iso, and then just copy the files over to the usb device?

Is there anything else that I am supposed to configure on the thumb drive?

Well according to BAG_ASS the whole flashboot thing should work, however it has not worked for me.

This is how you do it:

You go to flashboot then you click on "Create bootable flash disk as a compy of bootable CD-ROM disk (*).

Then you load the ISO file.
Then make bootable USB Flash disk which is physicallly present on the PC.
Then Partitioned disk (USB-HDD boot mode)

I do all that and it says when I boot it up "Can't find Kernel Linux"

Tell me how it goes, oh and "Semper Fi"
