[chirp_users] iso usb problems
Hi All I'm facing repeated problems creating a chirp usb system. I've checked my download is correct. Burning is another story. Has anyone burned the iso recently? I've been using Debian, but just now switched to latest Mint. I have tried unetbootin, "Disks", and various other tools. I get messages saying this is not a bootable disk.
How can I seriously validate the steps and accuracy of my burning process?
Hopefully yours

I use Multi-System... Seems to do a great job and if it finds a stick that is no good it will tell you. I have a 64G stick with a bunch of OS on it, I use it to boot to whatever one I need. If you are just wanting to boot a single ISO it maybe overkill but if you want to try several, it works great. https://sourceforge.net/projects/multisystem/

You need to actually install your chosen Linux distro onto the stick, not just write the ISO. Then boot the stick and install your chosen software.

Has anyone burned the iso recently?
Yes. I recently put Mint on a very old laptop.
I've been using Debian, but just now switched to latest Mint. I have tried unetbootin, "Disks", and various other tools. I get messages saying this is not a bootable disk.
I usually use unetbootin, but rufus and etcher also work for me.
Make sure you have a good quality flash drive. I've had similar issues and switching to a different USB stick solved the problem.

Have you tried: Universal USB? https://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ They also have a link to the Yummi method which makes a multi-boot. I've used it for years flawlessly. HTH. Glenn
