Hi,

Okay, OT but I've been having problems using unetbootin to make dban thumb drives. I'd use a CD (much easier to make), but I need to wipe a sans-CD drive netbook. My external disc drive conked out a while back, so I'm out of luck :-(

Generally, I format my thumb drives to fat32, simply because most are used on a windows machine eventually. Unetbootin won't create complete linux bootup files on a fat32 thumb drive, resulting in an unbootable drive (though it will transfer the dban iso file). Formatting the thumb drive to ext4 does not help.

Am I missing a step in the unetbootin process? Better yet, is there another way to create a bootable dban thumb drive without using unetbootin?

Thanks,
Jordan
