So, when you have your FAT32 partition, mounted, don't unplug it, as it would make it unmounted, and you'll have to mount it again, and the id of the partition could also change. Usually, just plugging the USB make it mounted, but it depends on your distro, and things are not always like it is in theory, sometimes it's not automatically mounted, we don't know why. As it's based directly on Ubuntu, it has the program called " Disks" (Full name: Gnome-disks-utility), the only think I have to do is to click the arrow to mount a partition, and it's done. I use the GUI method, as Multisystem allows me to do so very quickly and easily. To mount it, you have several ways, you can mount it or check via the terminal, see here for instance, it's very detailed: Sometimes, you think that Unetbootin doesn't detect the partition, and it's simply that's not properly mounted. Whatever you did, whether you followed the first part or not if you already had a sane FAT32 partition, you have to make sure the partition you want to use is mounted. I use the first partition, as I'm never sure that utility like Unetbootin sees the other one (I think they don't), it's the safe way. I partitioned it, and gave to the first partition (the one we'll use here the FAT32 format). I used Gparted from this liveCD to partition the USB disk that I want to use as an installation medium. Unetbootin is for only one OS, and Multisystem can make a multiboot, with several OS, and you can add repair tool for instance, if they come as ISO (boot-repair, ISO of antiviruses, etc.), or Yumi on Windows, etc. I cannot boot my PC anymore, so I've made a Multisystem USB key, and from it, I use either Unetbootin or Multisystem-program (included in this distro) to make a bootable USB disk. If you installation medium is an USB card, you can use your Android phone, or an Android OS on PC (Bliss-OS/Android-x86, Phoenix OS, PrimeOS.), and run Etchdroid or DriveDroid, or other similar apk apps.Įven if it was possible, I won't trust Unetbootin to install ISO to SD Card anyway, as it was not made for this.įor instance, I'm using right now Unetbootin under another LiveCD OS. It's a very very good thing that they removed the option "show all disks", as some users installed the live ISO directly to the disk that was in use, and obviously, broke all their installation, being unable to boot again in the OS they used to run Unetbootin. So, be careful to format the USB disk (or key, or whatever, but not SD card), with a FAT32 format, nothing else. It's not your USB disks that are not recognized, it's your partition format that aren't. And if you ever need to delete an installed system, simply click the "View or remove installed distros".Īs per the comments, it looks like Lili USB creator also works. Whenever you want to add another after this initial run, all you have to do is start the program and follow the above instructions. This tool is put together by the friendly creator of I have used it before, and to get what you need from it simply: plug in your external hard drive, start the program, select the "Show All Devices" tick box, select your drive, Tell it the distro you are using, navigate to it, and click create.Īs stated earlier when this process completes you will be asked if you want to add another iso/distro. You will need to use YUMI (Your Universal Multiboot Integrator) to perform this task. But this method should allow you to boot multiple ISOs from your external hard drive. I don't have an extra hard drive laying around to test it with. I have found a system that will work for what you want to do, well, in theory anyway. Other then that your best bet is using Linux distros with Live USB systems, and installing the full systems using the Live USB install. Something like Virtual Box will allow you to not only test, but install full Linux systems within your Windows system. However, if all you want to do is test Linux systems without needing to work with partitions, I would recommend looking at a Virtualization system. This means there is NO way to do this using Unetbootin. Unetbootin used to support this, but it has since been removed.
