Create a bootable USB drive from Windows.

Submitted by andrew on Sat, 01/02/2010 - 09:36.

Lance from pendrivelinux.com has created a tool for Windows users to put Ubuntu-Rescue-Remix onto a USB flash drive. To create a Live USB Rescue Remix system without it, Windows-only users need do some extra work and download both the Desktop CD and the Rescue Remix to run the Desktop CDs USB creator.

This saves some users a lot of time and effort. The instructions are found here at pendrivelinux.com.

Thanks Lance!

Andrew this is awesome. I installed Rescue Remix to my 4GB USB Flash and used the 1GB persistent file to allow me to save shell session data. Worked beautiful.
