Create Bootable USB with Linux
Extract the ISO
Mount the latest UBCD ISO or CD and extract it to a temporary location:
mkdir ~/Desktop/UBCDextracted rsync -avr /media/<username>/UBCD528/* /home/<username>/Desktop/UBCDextracted/
Partition the USB Flash Drive
sudo su
Determine which USB drive:
fdisk -l
Blank the USB drive (optional):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
Create a FAT32 partition and filesystem:
Make the partition type 'c' (W95 FAT32 (LBA)) and 'active' (bootable).
fdisk /dev/sdX
Create the Filesystem
mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n UBCD /dev/sdX1
Copy the Files to the USB Flash Drive
Replug the USB flash drive to mount the filesystem.
cd /home/<username>/Desktop/UBCDextracted/ rsync -avr /home/<username>/Desktop/UBCDextracted/* /media/<username>/UBCD/
