LAVA and UNetBootin



So I have been using UnetBootin lately to build USB bootable OS sticks. I'll take a version of LAVA or even a PE Bart disk and run it thru Unetbootin and voila - instant USB Linux or rescure disk. I've used it to clean viruses off desktops, recuse files from pcs which will no longer boot, even do complete installs off the stick. Plus I sometimes use it as my desktop when I don't have my pc - Just go to someone's pc, boot up and you are working.

For more info - check out their homepage.

How did you get the boot loader to start Bart? Mine only recognizes linux isos. -Cornhoolio

Hi Cornhoolio

When I ran it it picked up the bart cd and dumped it to the usb with no problem.

What is the error you are getting - I haven't tried it in awhile so if you are getting an error - what version are you running?
