Unable to create persistence on Kali Linux Live USB

[allnewtome!]

Hi,

I am very new to Linux but am now studying towards CEH accreditation as part of my new role.

I have followed the guide to install the ISO image on my USB and can successfully boot into Kali Linux.

When I follow the guide for enabling persistence things come un-stuck. This is exactly what I am doing:

1. Boot laptop (Windows 7 - HP Probook running Windows 7 64bit)
2. ESC and F9 to boot from USB (8GB USB)
3. Open a terminal from the Kali desktop
4. Type "fdisk -l" (the output matches that of the userguide)
5. Type "end=7GB"
6. Type the full command as per the guide but substituting the image name for the name of the image I downloaded as below:

read start _ < <(du -bcm kali-linux-2.0-amd64.iso | tail -1); echo $start

I receive the following error message:
du: cannot access 'kali-Linux-2.0-amd64.iso': No such file or directory


I am logged in as root.

Hopefully this is just a stupid error on my part/lack of understanding :-(

Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you still cannot get persistence to function post back here.

Thanks so much for those links - clearly I was missing the point that I needed to be working from a separate Linux Live USB to enable persistence.

Followed the guide and all now working. Thanks again.
