I used to always use the Startup Disk Creator, on the basis that
it is the official tool for making bootable USB's (and thus surely
they will keep it working). <br>
<br>
But it kept failing for me in each release. <br>
<br>
For awhile, I would use the Startup Disk Creator on a Kubuntu
partition, which seemed to work more reliably, but that was a pain
to have to do it that way. <br>
<br>
Finally, in the last release with it yet again not working, that
was the 'last straw' for me, and I won't use it any more. <br>
<br>
I've had a lot better luck (though still occasional problems) with
UNetBootIn, and I'm sure Nio's USB creator will be kept reliably
working. <br>
<br>
There comes a point, where one refuses to keep getting 'burned'
over and over again. <br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I carry around a LinuxVoice DVD with Ubuntu / Kubuntu /
Xubuntu / lubuntu 14.04 on it.<br>
<br>
</div>
I also carry a 1GB USB flash drive so, in an emergency, I
can install lubuntu 14.04 LTS (32 bit). Its formatted as
FAT32.<br>
<br>
</div>
I decided to rewrite the flash drive using a 14.04 lubuntu 32
bit image. I used Startup Disk Creator and it consistently
failed after I typed in the (correct) password when the
finally bit of writing needed my password.<br>
<br>
</div>
I have tried checking the USB flash drive out - in particular
I've formatted it, copied .tar.gz files to it and checked the
.tar.gzs for errors. No errors there.<br clear="all">
