Installing from a live CD directly to a USB pendrive worked flawlessly for me.
Used a USB 3.0, 16GB scandisk. Grub had issues with installing automatically. I had to specify the Master Boot Record to be set to (in my case) /dev/sdc.

For some technical reason Win32 is good to make Windows USB ISO's boot, but is no good to make Linux USB ISO's boot.
Download Unetbootin (extract if necessary & run - installing it is not necessary). I know for a fact that Unetbootin always works for creating Linux USB ISO boots on a windows system.
Another solution is to Install VMWare or Virtualbox and drop your downloaded Linux ISO into it & run.
Good Luck
I've tried to install KALI live usb
then I make a persistence mode and successfully,
but when i update repository and after the restart and only appear blank screen, even though I've been following the appropriate instructions here.
No one knows the solution?
Hi everyone. I've been trying to integrate Kali (as substitution to BT5) into the pretty old Katana multiboot "environment" (if it doesn't ring a bell, you can pertain it as simply multiboot pendrive using syslinux; you place each of your distros into separate folder and add apropriate boot menu section to .cfg file) using guidelines have been laid in this topic, generally with success (it boots in live mode), but there is a thing that bothers me. BT5 didn't have "tools", "pool" and "dists" folder in the root of iso image. What should I do with theese? Should I place them in the folder with live image of kali, or in the root of pendrive? Or probably some another options should be added to kernel parameters string? My ultimate goal is to not only make it bootable, but also ready to be installed from the pendrive, won't the absense of aforementioned folders prevent or somehow break setup process?
Hi guys,
I'm the developper behind LinuxLive USB Creator and I'm trying to find a way to make Kali live USB with persistence in a file.
I tried a few boot options such as persistence-path,persistence-storage but none worked so far.
Can you help me ?
Hello, i'm tying to install Kali on a usb key but i'm not able to.
I downloaded the iso (i tried 32 and 64...), i tried many tools : unetboot, win32 disk manager, linux live USB creator universal linux boot... But everytime when i tried to boot on the key, it's not working, the boot is not detected, i tried the key on 3 computers and it's the same.
This is how i do :
- i format the key using SD formatter
- i run a boot creator program ( unetboot, Linux live USB creator...) then i follow the process, i add the iso file then start... I wait until the program says it's done.
- Retart the computer change the boot priority to usb.
But it does'nt start, the key is not detected as bootable...
What's wrong ? Can you help ?
This my first time using this forum and I may have posted in the incorrect place with my first post! I have created a usb boot drive with Kali 32 and booted to a win7 machine. I get Invalid or corrupt kernel image' when I choose the any of the live versions. I have searched for solutions and followed some suggestions but it still does it! Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
after numerous attemps i finally managed to put a working image on my usb, i had to use win32 disk imager, why do i have to use windows to install a linux distro?!
anyway:
dd if=kali.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k failed
unetbootin failed
other programs failed
I successfully used Win32 Disk Manager (see thread)
