Mount the ISO: sudo mount -t udf -o loop,ro,unhide /path/to/file.iso /mnt Insert the USB drive. Run fdisk and specify the device name of the USB drive; for example: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc * Delete any existing partition table and create a new one. * Create a new partition of at least 4.5 GB. Mark it bootable and set its type to 7 (HPFS/NTFS/ExFAT). * Write changes and exit fdisk. Create a FAT-32 file system in the new partition; for example: sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdc1 Mount this partition to an existing subdirectory; for example: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbstick Copy all of the files from the mounted ISO into this directory: sudo cp -rv /mnt/* /media/usbstick Sync the file systems just to be sure: sudo sync Unmount both items previously mounted: sudo umount /media/usbstick sudo umount /mnt
