Win32DiskImage rulez. :-D Bonus: No more geometry problems on old BIOSes. Just create a nice GPT formatted image with a cool protective MBR. This can even expose the first partition via

Would that help in some way? Yes it would help. But the most easy way probably is to take Win32DiskImager and one of the official Ubuntu ISO images. The official ISOs are hybrid images. They also contain a partition table and a bootloader. With Win32DiskImager you can create a bootable thumb drive. Since the hybrid images usually have a bootloader at low LBAs and use a drive geometry that works nea...

The RAW nature of Disk Imager fails to leverage the unique intentions of UUID to surmount the problems of multiple bootable drives in the same system for purposes of knowing which one you actually booted from and should continue to use.

Then again, I suppose you could have a script in your init that detects when it has been booted from a *special* UUID. In such cases it goes to the first instance of a volume with that *special* UUID and re-writes it to a genuine UUID, as well as updates the syslinux configs on the volume. You could then create your seed image with that *special* UUID and then even an XP user could write it to a

Renato, I don't think it would take that long to make a little script that even an XP user could use to generate GPT formatted thumb-drives. I believe someone made the Rufus utility for just such an occasion Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way Rufus Create bootable USB drives the easy way Rufus is a utility that

Unfortunately I can't use GPT partitions because the usb stick are created by non-technical users and lots of them are still using xp 32 bits.
