is there a way when adding a usb pen drive or Memory Card it can assigned to a specific drive letter. Automatically.
Not go to the lowest drive letter.
Maybe have a boot record on the pen drive or memory card?

Sometimes you just have to burn it to an .iso and mount it that way with a network server, or an actual disk. Also for windows try: Universal-USB-Installer-v1.5.6, worked for me for many loads of different Linux, but not all. It can even download the iso for you..

I like a tool for windows called
“Universal-USB-Installer-v1.5.6″

It lets you do a similar task from in a windows 7/whatever os, and pick the iso, or download it, & format BIG memory cards and put the iso on it, for immediate loading. I’ve used it over 10 times over the last few days to reload a laptop with a slew of different ubuntu/fedora versions. Last time I saved updating from 9.04 to 10.04 with the ramstick, which was a saving of 2 hrs. per ubuntu updating system. Works great, left all the other partitions intact, like the other os’s had done before it (kind of annoying, but w/e). Next reload I will remove them all and format again 8). Now if someone would make a reverse engine for virtualbox images to .iso, we’d be all set!

I could install it on my USB drive. But then I could not boot my EEC PC 901 from the drive.

In the BIOS it tells me: A device enclosed in parenthesis [Removable Dev.] has been disabled in the corresponding type menu.

When it tries to boot (with GRUB) it gives me an error message:
Kernel panic – not syncing: VFS: UNable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)

What is wrong?
Thank You for help

Shit story! I used ‘usb-create’ under Ubuntu 8.04 and that works perfect…

As a (late) follow-up, no Unetbootin won’t work with a Windows ISO
