Make cdlinux into a USB stick to start

Because of the use of Cdlinux, originally wanted to run on the virtual machine. Discover that the virtual machine does not recognize the integrated laptop card when running, Pit Daddy. Later wanted to carve a dish, found that there is no ready-made things, the optical drive is read-only, but also to use the CD-ROM, so think of a U disk, just the hand has a 1G u disk temporarily no use. Write to hdd+ directly with UltraISO, unable to start Linux, (previously written in WinPE is possible), see someone said that this image is the image of the CD-ROM drive boot, can not directly start with a USB stick. Good to go to the point: (Master Please detour, I rookie, the U disk erase write more than 10 times only to learn)

Tools

The required software is: UltraISO, unetbootin-windows-latest
Required hardware: A USB flash drive with more than 1GB, (first formatted as F32 format) ) and detect if there is an MBR sector (I'll talk about his role later)
The required images are: Cdlinux0.9.7.1_sse. Iso

How to make

1. First format the USB flash drive, you can choose to quickly format. Settings such as:

To start the Unetbootin-windows-latest settings, select the CD image ISO file that we prepared.

Check whether you want to make the I disk, must not choose the wrong, if there is no error click OK button, then start making, such as.

Production is done, here can not worry about choosing "Restart Now", Select the "Exit" button, to this step we also need to configure the Linux boot file.

After exiting, use the Syslinux.cfg profile to overwrite the file with the same name as the root of the USB stick:

When the computer is set to start the USB stick, you can choose the Simplified Chinese version of the Cdlinux. Select default Chinese or (ZH_TW) Chinese at boot time,

If you do not have this configuration file, you can also replace the contents of syslinux.cfg. This is my own modification of the boot menu file, the default is Simplified Chinese start.

At this point you should be able to use our USB drive to start the cdlinux. Restart the computer, press F12 to enter the boot menu selection, we choose USB boot.

Error One: The screen has been black after booting into the USB flash drive

But I use the Win7 system, I started after the black screen, only one cursor in the top left corner of a flash flash, indicating that I have not started the production. Such as:

We still can not start, because the USB stick boot also have MBR sector, otherwise unable to make the boot disk, we use the UltraISO tool to make boot record file.

Note that the ①:u disk must have MBR sector, or can not make the startup disk, detection of the U disk has MBR software and methods to find the download on the Internet, and now the general U disk is supported by default, I do not go to check, direct write MBR boot record, so we try to use a better quality of the U disk, such as Kingston

Open our open UltraISO software, online green version of a lot of, decompression can be used, but need to pay attention to the version, as if from UltraISO V9.2, UltraISO already contains the ability to make a startup USB flash drive; I'm using 9.6.1 version of, people:

In the Open interface, click on the "Start" menu and select "Write HDD image ...", such as:

Open as:

In, select the drive letter of the USB stick, take care not to write it wrong, click on the Quick start-up to write the new audio Master boot Record (MBR)-->usb-hdd+

I choose the usb-hdd+ here, you can also choose according to their own computer situation. You will be prompted (MBR) to write a successful prompt and click the OK button directly.

introduction of various U disk startup modes:
1, USB-HDD: Hard disk emulation mode, after the DOS boot display c: disk, the HP U disk Format tool made by the USB flash drive is the use of this boot mode. This mode is highly compatible, but it cannot be started for some computers that only support Usb-zip mode.
2, Usb-zip: Large capacity floppy disk emulation mode, DOS boot display a disk, flashboot production of usb-zip startup USB flash drive that use this mode. This mode is the only optional mode on some older computers, but it is not good for most new computers, especially the high-capacity U disk.
3, usb-hdd+: Enhanced USB-HDD mode, after DOS boot display c: Disk, compatibility is very high. The disadvantage is that computers that support Usb-zip only fail to boot.
4, usb-zip+: Enhanced Usb-zip mode, support Usb-hdd/usb-zip dual mode boot (depending on the computer, some BIOS may display the C: Disk after DOS boot, some BIOS may display a after DOS boot), so as to achieve high compatibility. The disadvantage is that some support USB-HDD computer will be the mode of the USB drive is considered to be usb-zip to start, resulting in more than 4GB of high-capacity U disk compatibility has been reduced.
5, Usb-cdrom: Disc emulation mode, DOS boot can not account for the disk, the compatibility of general. The advantage is that xp/2003 can be installed like a CD-ROM. The production of a specific U disk model/lot number corresponding to the production tools to make, for U3 disk Online has a general production tools.

Restart again, you can normally enter the Cdlinux system.

Error two: Using UltraISO made USB stick boot, unable to start

There are many people on the Internet that can use UltraISO direct burning to the U disk, I have to test the page, in accordance with the way of the online step-by-step production, the final production completed, after the successful burning, the file of the U disk is this:

After restarting, the interface prompts such as:

I go through the online query, Online said UltraISO to make Windows system, but the production of Linux system can not boot, so use the above method, using Unetbootin+ultraiso to make USB Cdlinux system, the above can be successfully booted and started. I forget the specific source.

Hide the Cdlinux system of the USB stick

I believe you looked at the above tutorial, you should have made a can start and run the Cdlinux system, but in our U disk still have some no use, can not be so large a U disk for cdlinux use it? If you save something to the U disk, it is also more chaotic, in case of a mistake to delete the cdlinux with some of the files to delete, the above to do so for a long time on white hard.

So I intend to cdlinux file to hide, and the U disk does not affect the use, we are more ideal is the U disk Startup disk After the completion, does not affect the original USB stick function, you can still store data with a U disk. (I'm using the Kingston 8G USB drive), so here are two ways to hide the Cdlinux system:

Hidden way one: After making the startup disk, all the Cdlinux file attributes are set to hide, so that the surface is still a normal u disk, it is not easy to cause accidental deletion.
Hide way Two: Make a hidden partition, put the cdlinux in the hidden partition.

The first kind of hidden way is relatively simple, I think everyone will, here will not go into detail, will not give me a message.
Here the main introduction of the second way, using the UltraISO function, the cdlinux write to the hidden partition of the U disk, explained as follows:
Through the above tutorial, I believe that you now have the USB stick can be normal start into the Cdlinux system, the above we also explain why the U-disk made by UltraISO can not enter the system, and we write the MBR boot, do not know whether you notice that there is a "hidden boot partition" option for us to use this feature.

My idea is this: in the UltraISO made with the U disk start Cdlinux, UltraISO just mechanical cdlinux0.9.7.1_ Sse.iso files copied to the USB flash drive, and did not produce other files, I use this function, I can normally start into the cdlinux of the U disk, re-burn to the U disk, first use UltraISO we have made a successful USB drive to start the Cdlinux, that is, all the files on your USB flash drive, made into an ISO files, such as:

we re-created an ISO file, the file name is Cdlinux0.9.7.1_sse_jack.iso This is the file we just made from the USB flash drive, and then use UltraISO to write this ISO file to the hidden partition of the USB stick, click "Start" menu, select "Write Hard disk image ...", such as:

In the Hide boot partition Select "Hide", click "Format" select format to ensure that the USB stick is relatively clean, and then click on the "Write" button, there will be a warning, such as:

Select Yes, wait to finish and exit, OK this time open our USB drive, see no files, open our Disk management, can see such as:

Restart again, enter the Cdlinux system, can start normally, good to this our cdlinux perfect hide, and also do not affect the normal use of u disk, even if you now format the U disk, still will not affect our cdlinux system partition data, reached the goal of perfect combination.

The above for my measured success, to give the necessary side dishes. The master is on the detour.
