I tried creating a USB bootable from Mint 12 iso using Unetbootin for windows.
However I continue to get Boot Failure msg when actual booting.
USB drive is bootable suppoted and I have checked it by creaing MS DOS boot on it and booting to dos.
Could someone help or suggest how to go about creating boot USB from linux ISO. Is Mint 12 not supported here for direct diskimg burn from ISO file? Under distribution option within Unetbootin, it only lists upto Mint 10.

Mint 12 ISO otherwise seem fine as I could burn on CD and boot from it.

Thx

Dump Unetbootin, many times it fails for me too.

Then I shifted to *www.linuxliveusb.com/

Completely reliable and functional :)

Give it a try.
