I am using windows, I have downloaded ISO of Vector Linux 7.0 (VL7.0-STD-GOLD.iso). I don't have a CD Rom, How can I create a bootable USB of this Linux to install it on my system.

Unetbootin don't support vector linux.

  • @Gareth: Have you bothered reading the answer and my comments? I am asking for specific linux distribution which is not supported by those tools – LifeH2O Nov 30 '11 at 09:47

try the linux USB installer from PenDriveLinux. its pritty easy to use and works with any downloaded Linux Live ISO.

You can find it here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

  • It didn't work :( – LifeH2O Nov 29 '11 at 22:12
  • odd. it worked for every distribution i tried... are you on mac or PC? – Jon Valentine Nov 29 '11 at 22:21
  • ok, i found another installer that you can try called simply: Live USB Installer. you can find it at:http://live.learnfree.eu/download – Jon Valentine Nov 29 '11 at 22:23
  • I am on PC, going to try it. – LifeH2O Nov 29 '11 at 22:41
  • I already tried it, it don't have the option of Vector Linux 7.0 – LifeH2O Nov 29 '11 at 22:44
  • I just tried the last option of pendrivelinux, it booted VL from USB successfully, but it keep giving error there that /isolinux/init.gz is not found. – LifeH2O Nov 29 '11 at 22:46
  • Before giving the error it shows that 'loading from /isolinux/krenel/sata ......' and the gives the above error. I entered the path /isolinux/kernel/sata manually on console which was there. Something happened and it went to next screen, showing a lot of text. But it hanged after sometime, stating that I might have missed some boot loading parameters. I plugged out power cable to get out. – LifeH2O Nov 29 '11 at 22:50
  • ok, i really cant help you, there, never having used that linux distribution, but im glad the download worked – Jon Valentine Nov 29 '11 at 23:07

The working solution is : LinuxLive USB Creator 2.8

Note: Universal-USB-Installer does NOT support VectorLinux
