No luck here. The Sandisk 4GB USB stick is simply ignored.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I used a Sandisk Cruzer Switch 8 GB and everything worked perfectly. Your steps were easy to follow - clear and logical. I can finally now boot into my desktop computer which was stuck on grub rescue>. Hopefully I will now be able to resolve the issue. 🙂

Thank you! I never though creating a live usb can be so simple. I used a Sandisk 16 gb USB to create Live USB. your steps were easy to follow and result was perfect. -

under Linux mint 13.9 -
Open Rufus. You only need to do 2 thing. Chose the USB you want to install on. Then chose the ISO file you want to use or just drag and drop it in the rufus window. Press start. If you can't figure out rufus, use etcher.
If you don't find the USB when booting you have to disable fast boot/secure boot or change from UEFI to legacy. Google this part, a lot of people have problems with that.

And btw, this is how to install mint using usb, not a live cd(which is you can run the OS straight from the USB without installing it).

If you know where I can do that it would be great. -
Don't forget you may need to enable booting from usb in your bios

Using Balena Etcher should be even easier to create a bootable USB flash drive.

I tried it in ISO mode the first time, and the computer (or MobaLive) wouldn't recognise it as bootable. I had better luck with DD mode.

Old and outdated instructions.

Rufus hasn't been updated in nearly 3 years. -
You guys need to turn off 'SECURE BOOT' from BIOS. Also enable UEFI booting.
