Hi, Unetbootin has several bugs, and someone posts a workaround for making DBAN thumbdrive with unetbootin. http://alexpounds.com/blog/2012/07/18/workarounds-for-unetbootin-bugs
If you don't have to stick to Unetbootin, you might get better results with Ubuntu's default usb-creator (usb-creator-gtk) Hope this helps, Kiyotaka 2016-06-22 20:38 GMT+09:00 JMZ <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > Okay, OT but I've been having problems using unetbootin to make dban thumb > drives.
