To create a bootable USB, you can follow the steps below:
STEP 1
Go to the website of the OS you wish to install, and find an iso image to download. In your case, since you want to run a Debian OS, here is a link to its iso options: https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst
Choose an iso image from the options, and click on it. This should automatically start the image download. While file is downloading, go to second step.
STEP 2
Get a utility program to format and create bootable USB flash drives. Some have already been suggested, so I will just link you to my favourite: https://rufus.akeo.ie/
Download the utility and go to third step.
STEP 3
By this stage, if your iso image has not yet finished downloading, then wait until it does.
Now that you have both the utility and the iso image downloaded:
- Plug in your USB drive
- Open Rufus (to write your USB)
- Select the iso image you just downloaded to write on the USB, and fill out the other options accordingly (eg. selecting your USB drive etc)
- Click on the option for starting the write process (with Rufus, it is the «Start» button)
Once Rufus finishes, simply reboot, booting from your USB, which should start up your Debian OS.
Debian is a free Linux distribution which users can install to operate their computers. You can install Debian Linux on a computer using a bootable flash drive with Debian Linux setup files on it. This article describes the process to install latest version Debian Linux as a Single Boot Host Operating System on a Computer by creating a bootable Debian Linux USB Flash Drive on an existing Windows System while replacing the existing operating system. You can use a Flash Drive of 4 GB or more to make it Debian Linux bootable Flash Drive.
To create a Debian Linux bootable Flash Drive (in other words Pen Drive or USB Drive) on a Windows system and install it as a single host operating system follow the Five easy steps below:
Step 1: Download Debian Linux ISO File
Login to your Windows System, open a web browser and navigate to official website of Debian Linux Operating System. On the Home Page, click on “Getting Debian” menu to navigate to download page of current release of Debian Linux Operating System.
On download page, scroll down the page and click on “complete installation image” link to navigate to CD-DVD ISO image page. On the CD-DVD ISO image page click on “Download CD/DVD images using HTTP” option to navigate to Downloading Debian CD/DVD images via HTTP/FTP page. On this page, click on “Official CD/DVD images of the stable release” link to navigate to page for downloading stable release’s ISO file. There will be two section on the page viz. “CD” and “DVD”. It is better to use a DVD as the capacity of CD is too low for ISO image files and you will need multiple CDs for the purpose. Thus, it is better to use a single DVD instead of multiple CDs.
Under the DVD section, there will be links for different computer architectures such as 64-bit, 32-bit, etc. Most modern computers are built on 64-bit architectures nowadays. Thus, click on “amd64” link to navigate to ISO file download link page.
Scroll down the page to check the link for DVD-1. It will in the format “debian-version-architecture-DVD-serial_number.iso”. For example, “debian-10.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso”. Click on the link to download Debian 64-bit DVD–1 ISO file.
There would be options for DVD-2 and DVD-3 iso files as well. These additional DVD-2 & DVD-3 ISO files shall not be required for installation as these contains additional packages which can be downloaded and installed over internet later.
Click on latest version Debian Linux ISO file to download ISO file. The browser will prompt to save the ISO file. Save the ISO file to your computer. Wait for the download to finish.
Step 2: Download Rufus Flashing tool
In the meantime, while the Debian Linux ISO file is downloading, navigate to official web site of Rufus to download Rufus flashing Software tool for creating a bootable Flash Drive. Scroll down the page and click on the link to download latest version of Rufus tool under download section. Wait the download to finish and close the web browser.
Step 3: Flash Debian Linux ISO to USB Flash Drive
Go to the download location and open Rufus tool by executing downloaded Rufus file. The “Device” dropdown box will be empty. Insert a Flash Drive in the USB slot of your computer. Rufus will detect the Flash and display in “Device” dropdown box. Now browse and select the Debian Linux ISO file from download location by clicking on “Select” button. Type in Label for the flash drive of your choice or continue with default label. Keep other options with default values and click on “Start”. Click “Yes” to allow Rufus to download additional system files for compatibility with the given ISO file. Click “OK” and continue with recommended option to “Write in ISO Image mode”. Ensure that there is no important data on the Flash Drive (as it will be erased) and click “Ok” to continue flashing the drive. Wait for the flashing to finish. Click “Close” when Rufus window display “Ready” as status to close the Rufus Tool on successful flashing of Flash Drive.
Step 4: Set and Boot from bootable Flash Drive
On system boot, press a designated key (F10, F12, F2, Del, Esc, F9) to enter BIOS or UEFI Setup. It could be different on different make and model. Try other keys as per Make and Model of your computer. Search for the booting device settings and select USB Drive as the Booting Device. Save and Exit BIOS / UEFI setup. The system will restart. While booting, press the designated key (F9, F10, F12, F2, Del, Esc) to display Boot Menu. It will display the list of booting devices. Select USB Drive as Boot Device and Hit Enter.
If the system will boot from the flash drive, it will display Debian splash screen on your computer screen. Press “Enter” on “Graphical Install” option to begin installation of Debian Linux.
On the installation wizard select Language, Location, Keyboard Layout and click on continue to proceed on each wizard screen. Then type in a host name and domain name of your choice and click on continue to proceed. You can leave domain name as blank if not available. Then, enter and re-enter root password and click on continue to proceed. Type in the Full Name of the main user and click on continue to proceed. Type in a username for the user and continue. Enter and re-enter user password and click on continue to proceed. Ensure that root password and User password are different for security purposes. Select your time zone to set system clock and continue. Choose “Guided – use entire Disk” and continue. Select the hard disk and continue. Select single or multiple partitions as per your choice and continue. Select “Finish partitioning and write changes to disk” and continue. Select “Yes” option and continue. Wait till installation process is on-going.
The installation wizard will ask whether you are using multiple or single DVD for installation. Select “No” as you will be using only single DVD and continue. Ensure that your system is connected to internet and select “Yes” to use network mirror for downloading additional system files. Select a mirror nearest to your geographical location and continue. Wait till installation process is on-going. Select ‘Yes’ to participate in package usage survey or “No” as per your choice. Wait till installation process is on-going. Choose pre-defined collections of your choice or continue with default. Wait till installation process is on-going. Select “Yes” to install Grub on Master Boot Record to automatically boot in Debian upon restart. Select the Primary Hard Disk and continue. Wait till installation process is on-going. Remove Flash Drive and click on “Continue” to reboot the machine. The system will reboot. Wait while system is rebooting.
Upon reboot, boot loader screen will display various options to load operating system on your computer. Press Enter to load Debian Linux from your Hard Disk. Enter Login password and hit enter or press Sign In button to Login to the fresh installed Debian Linux. Debian Linux OS will be ready for your use. Use it as per your requirements.

I’ve got a shining new x64 laptop running Windows 7 and I want to dual boot Debian stable.
I’ve installed Ubuntu on loads of laptops in the past using a USB drive, but I can’t find decent instructions for installing Debian like the Ubuntu instructions.
I’ve installed Debian from CD a couple of times in the past too, but my new machine doesn’t have an optical drive.
The questions are:
-
Which files do I need from the
Debian download page? -
How do I make the Debian files on a USB drive
bootable? -
Does the Debian installer have a disk partitioner (like the
Ubuntu one does)? Reading the installation guide it seems not to,
which would be another hurdle. If this is the case, which partitioner
can I use?

Download UNetbootin, which allows one to create bootable USB installation media for almost any Linux and BSD distribution out of the box.
Just run it, select Debian, choose the usb drive and wait while it downloads the .iso and transfers it to your usb. After that it’s bootable and the install works like from a CD.

If you’re on Linux, the easiest way is to simply do (as per the docs):
cat debian.iso > /dev/sdX; sync
Where X is your drive letter, you can find out the correct letter by checking the output of dmesg
right after connecting your USB device. For example for me (and probably many) it would be /dev/sdb
This will wipe everything from your USB drive, so be careful!
UPDATE:
For completeness, I should also mention Rufus for Windows.

- Open Debian Download page and download the right cd / dvd for your pc. Most likely, if you have a modern computer, you’ll want amd64 version. I’d suggest to choose cd because today you’ll probably have a broadband connection and you’ll be able to download other needed packages later very quickly.
-
If you use Linux terminal you can use dd to prepare your usb stick (iso filename in this command is just an example, you’ll have to use your downloaded iso name and path:
dd if=/your/path/debian-7.5.0-i386-netinst.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M
sync
See Debian official instructions here.
Edit: added sync, to flush device writes before ejecting the usb device.
- Modern Debian versions include a partitioning tool and wizard, the process should be fairly easy, as pointed out in all the guides, here’s one.

So far the easiest way I have found is
cp debian-7.2.0-i386-netinst.iso /dev/sdX
sync
Where X is the drive letter assigned to the devise (see dmesg right after inserting the USB)
As seen in the Debian instructions

4.3.3. Manually copying files to the USB stick — the flexible way (Debian Official Ref.)
After trying other options and some notebooks refusing to boot, I’ve tried this «flexible way» and it was the only one that worked for me.
-
Stick your new USB stick to the USB (a new one or one that you don’t care to lose all data).
-
unmount it, if it has mounted automatically
- umount /dev/sdX1 (and sdX2, …)
-
partition it (i like old-fashion fdisk)
- fdisk /dev/sdX
- d to delete all partitions
- n to create a new, using all space
- t to change the partition type to ID c: W95 FAT32 (LBA)
- a to make sure it is bootable
- w to write the changes and exit
-
Install an MBR with (I didn’t need this step, so you may test. But its no harm to use it):
- install-mbr /dev/sdX
-
Create the filesystem
- mkdosfs -F32 -n «Debian85» /dev/sdX1
-
Keep it unmounted and generate the system in it:
- syslinux /dev/sdX1
-
Lets mount the USB stick:
- mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/d2/
-
Copy some files (be certain you download them from hd-media):
- cp vmlinuz /mnt/d2
- cp initrd.gz /mnt/d2
-
Edit the file syslinux.cfg, and add the following content to it:
- vim /mnt/d2/syslinux.cfg
DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
SAY Boot Debian Jessie 8.5 CD-1 from SYSLINUX...
KERNEL vmlinuz
APPEND ro root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.gz vga=788
PROMPT 1
-
Copy the ISO image to the USB stick:
- cp /some/path/debian-live-8.5.0-amd64-kde-desktop.iso .
- sync
-
Unmount the stick and it is ready to boot some machines:
- umount /mnt/d2
Notes:
- If at some point you become confused about what is mounted where, don’t forget to run:
lsblk -fo +size
-
A comment from my experience: if you copy the files on step 8 from your mounted ISO CD image instead of from the hd-media, then, after a successful boot, during the beginning of the installation (step «Detect and mount CD-ROM»), it will show you the message:
«incorrect cdrom / cdrom detected cannot be used for installation».
Googling it may show you problems with unetbootin
, but as you can see, this method gives the same error and doesn’t use such program.
- Also, as this method keeps the USB stick available space after the process usable, it is a good idea to create a folder (use the name
firmware
so debian can find it during the install) and add to it all sorts of non-free firmware that may be needed during the installation. You can get them from this unofficial netinstall image.

Debian.org — 4.3. Preparing Files for USB Memory Stick Booting
4.3.1. Preparing a USB stick using a hybrid CD or DVD image
Debian CD and DVD images can now be written directly to a USB stick, which is a very easy way to make a bootable USB stick. Simply
choose a CD or DVD image (such as the netinst, CD-1, DVD-1, or
netboot) that will fit on your USB stick. See Section 4.1, “Official Debian GNU/Linux CD/DVD-ROM Sets” to get a CD or DVD image.The CD or DVD image you choose should be written directly to the USB
stick, overwriting its current contents. For example, when using an
existing GNU/Linux system, the CD or DVD image file can be written to
a USB stick as follows,
# cp debian.iso /dev/sdX
# sync
4.3.3. Manually copying files to the USB stick — the flexible way
If you like more flexibility or just want to know what’s going on, you should use the following method to put the files on your stick. One advantage of using this method is that — if the capacity of your USB stick is large enough — you have the option of copying any ISO image, even a DVD image, to it.

To quote from the Very Verbose Debian Installation Walkthrough:
Step 3 � (cfdisk) You should now be at
a black screen that says, «cfdisk
2.11n», at the top. This is where we will partition our hard drive to
prepare it so we can install Debian.
Probably one of the most «scary» tasks
when installing Debian is partitioning
the drive. Debian uses a command line
tool called cfdisk, which is really
quite simple to use, so don’t be
discouraged by its monochrome
presentation.

An alternative method:
From your question, I don’t see any specific reason why you would want to put Debian onto a USB stick (if there’s one, correct me). If you really just want to dual boot Debian on a machine running Windows 7, the Win32-Loader offers an easy way to do so. One can grab this from any debian mirror, inside the directory debian/tools. It’s easy to use and self explaining. Once executed, just set the options to your needs (things like keyboard layout are automatically detected) and then click the install button. The setup will download the needed files and then allows you to directly boot into the installer, without the need for making an USB stick bootable and copying a lot of files on it.
And yes, the Debian installer offers a way to partition the disk.

By far, the best USB boot software I’ve used is called Ventoy, because after you install Ventoy onto a USB thumb drive, from then on you can add and remove as many ISOs to it as will fit by simply dragging and dropping them there or deleting them.
Each time you boot, from a Ventoy usb thumb drive, it simply lists all the images you’ve placed onto it and asks you which one you want to boot.
To me, this is ideal. Yes, it is also free and open source. It is exactly what I was looking for.

I am trying to create a bootable USB stick in Windows to install Debian on my laptop. I have looked at the guide on the http://www.debian.org website, but it seems to assume you already have access to a Linux machine with the use of zcat and other extractors. Is there anyway to create a bootable Debian USB stick in Windows? By the way, I’m trying to simply get the USB stick to become bootable and then install the OS through the internet on my laptop. My laptop does not have an optical drive, so I have to do it this way. Thanks for any help in advance.

Okay now I have gotten the USB stick set up and booted from it, but the installation is telling me that it cannot find my ethernet card and wants to know which driver to use. I know that my laptop has the Atheros Communications AR8131 Gigabit Ethernet card. I have had Ubuntu on my laptop before and it ran the atl1c driver. Now, the setup has the atl1 driver available to load, but since I know my laptop used to use the atl1c version, should I just go ahead and use the atl1 driver anyway or is there a place I can download the atl1c?

From the problems, I would guess that you are installing Lenny, the stable release. The older 2.6.26 Lenny kernel does not supply that newer driver, but it is built into the lenny-backports 2.6.32 kernel. You can download the appropriate linux-image-2.6.32 lenny-backports kernel from here: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite … age-2.6.32
Install the .deb with dpkg -i, update the boot loader (su -c update-grub), and boot to the newer kernel.
(This is all after the install, I guess you will have to tell it you don’t have an Ethernet driver yet. If you’re doing a netinstall…ouch. Better go for Squeeze, instead)

Last time i tried, unetbootin could not create a bootable debian usb. A much easier way of making one is to use win32 disk imager.
Download it from here: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/+download
Now rename your downloaded iso file to img. For ex. abc.iso becomes abc.img. Now plug-in your usb device and select the proper drive letter in win32disk imager, browse to the image to be written (debian img) and click write. Thats it.
Common sense can not be compiled.

Привет! Сейчас я Вам покажу, как можно записать ISO образ диска дистрибутива Linux в операционной системе Windows на USB устройство, т.е. на флешку. Тем самым, создав загрузочную флешку с Linux, которую Вы можете впоследствии использовать для того чтобы установить дистрибутив Linux на жесткий диск компьютера или просто пользоваться Live версией.
Операционная система Linux набрала определённую популярность, поэтому многие хотят попробовать данную систему, например, установить ее на жесткий диск компьютера в качестве второй системы или просто записать дистрибутив на флешку (т.е. сделать Live-USB) и протестировать Live версию, а многие уже используют ее в качестве основной системы у себя на компьютере.
При этом некоторые не знают, как проходит процесс установки дистрибутива Linux, поэтому многие хотят научиться самостоятельно устанавливать и переустанавливать данную систему. На этом сайте собрано уже достаточно много статей-инструкций по установке операционной системы Linux на жёсткий диск компьютера.
Заметка! Опрос. Какой операционной системой Вы пользуетесь?
Linux – это бесплатная система, существует достаточно много дистрибутивов Linux, которые можно свободно (бесплатно) скачать в Интернете. Практически все дистрибутивы распространяются в виде ISO образов (ISO-образ – это файл, в котором содержаться абсолютно все данные оптического диска), которые необходимо записать на DVD диск или USB флешку. При этом нужно не просто скопировать файл образа и отправить его на диск или флешку, нужно создать загрузочный носитель из ISO образа, для того чтобы можно было загрузиться с этого носителя и, например, установить Linux на компьютер.
Таким образом, первое, с чем Вы столкнетесь, если захотите установить Linux – это с тем, что Вам нужно будет записать ISO образ диска соответственно на диск. Но мир технологий не стоит на месте, поэтому уже давно существует возможность записывать подобные образы на USB накопители, т.е. на флешки, так как это намного удобней и быстрей.
Поэтому сегодня мы с Вами научимся записывать ISO образы на флешки в операционной системе Windows. Рассмотрим мы один из самых простых способов, который заключается в использовании бесплатной программы UNetbootin, она специально разработана для записи образов с Linux на USB устройства.
На заметку! Если Вы обычный пользователь домашнего компьютера и хотите познакомиться с Linux поближе, рекомендую почитать мою книгу – «Linux для обычных пользователей», в ней я подробно рассказываю про основы операционной системы Linux
Содержание
- Программа UNetbootin
- Где скачать программу UNetbootin?
- Описание процесса записи ISO образа диска с Linux на флешку программой UNetbootin
- Шаг 1 — Форматируем флешку в файловую систему FAT32
- Шаг 2 — Запускаем программу и выбираем ISO образ
- Шаг 3 – Завершение процесса записи
Программа UNetbootin
UNetbootin – это бесплатная программа для записи ISO образов на USB накопитель (флешку). Она разработана специально для ISO образов с дистрибутивами Linux. С помощью данной программы Вы можете записать практически любой образ дистрибутива Linux, например: Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSuse, Fedora, Linux Mint, а также другие популярные дистрибутивы.
UNetbootin позволяет даже самостоятельно скачать необходимый ISO образ, т.е. Вам даже не нужно будет его предварительно скачивать, для этого Вам необходимо просто указать нужный дистрибутив в меню программы. При этом возможность указать конкретный ISO образ, т.е. указать путь к файлу образа, который Вы предварительно скачали, также есть, лично я именно так и привык делать, иными словами, самостоятельно скачивать дистрибутивы Linux с тех источников и тем способом, который мне удобней.
Кроме дистрибутивов Linux программой UNetbootin можно создать загрузочную флешку с различными системными приложениями, такими как: Parted Magic, Dr.Web Antivirus, Kaspersky Rescue Disk, NTPasswd, FreeDOS и другие.
К минусам программы UNetbootin можно отнести то, что она не имеет никаких дополнительных возможностей работы с USB накопителями, кроме записи на них ISO образов. То есть, нет возможности отформатировать флешку из программы, или проверить ее на ошибки, все это в случае необходимости нужно делать предварительно другими средствами.
Где скачать программу UNetbootin?
Скачать UNetbootin можно с сайта http://unetbootin.github.io/, где доступна актуальная версия программы, на момент написания статьи — это версия 661.
После перехода на сайт нажимайте на кнопку «Загрузить (Windows)».
В итоге загрузится файл unetbootin-windows-661.exe размером примерно 4.6 мегабайт, который Вы и будете использовать для записи ISO образа на флешку, другими словами, UNetbootin не требуется устанавливать на жесткий диск компьютера, программа состоит из одного exe файла, который необходимо просто скачать вышеуказанным способом.
Описание процесса записи ISO образа диска с Linux на флешку программой UNetbootin
Шаг 1 — Форматируем флешку в файловую систему FAT32
Одним из минусов программы является также то, что она нормально работает с устройствами (флешками), которые отформатированы в файловую систему FAT32. Если у USB накопителя файловая система, например, NTFS, то программа отработает, но с данной флешки загрузиться не получится, по крайней мере, у меня не получилось. Если у Вашей флешки файловая система FAT32, то Вам достаточно просто удалить все файлы с флешки, а если их нет, то данный пункт Вы вообще можете пропустить. Но, если у Вас флешка с файловой системой не FAT32, то Вам необходимо произвести форматирование USB устройства в файловую систему FAT32. А как мы выяснили, что встроенных средств форматирования USB флешек у программы UNetbootin нет, поэтому нам необходимо предварительно самостоятельно отформатировать флешку в файловую систему FAT32. Хорошо, что это делается очень легко, штатными средствами операционной системы Windows.
Итак, вставляем флешку в компьютер, в проводнике Windows кликаем правой кнопкой мыши по USB устройству и выбираем «Форматировать».
Откроется окно «Форматирование», нам необходимо выбрать файловую систему FAT32 и нажать кнопку «Начать».
Далее подтверждаем свои действия, нажимаем «ОК».
Форматирование будет завершено, когда появится соответствующее сообщение, нажимаем «ОК».
Теперь можем переходить к процессу записи ISO образа.
Шаг 2 — Запускаем программу и выбираем ISO образ
В качестве примера я покажу, как произвести запись конкретного ISO образа диска, который я предварительно скачал (для примера дистрибутив Ubuntu Budgie 18.04).
Запускаем программу UNetbootin, и в нижней ее части выбираем образ ISO и указываем путь к данному образу, также проверяем, правильно ли указан тип устройства и носитель. После этого нажимаем «ОК».
Если у Вас нет ISO образа, Вы можете воспользоваться меню в верхней части программы, иными словами, выбираете дистрибутив Linux и его версию, в данном случае программа сама произведет загрузку дистрибутива.
Шаг 3 – Завершение процесса записи
Процесс записи ISO образа длиться буквально 5-7 минут.
Когда появится сообщение о том, что запись произведена (Installation Complete), закрываем программу, т.е. нажимаем «Выход».
В итоге у нас получилась загрузочная флешка с дистрибутивом Linux. Чтобы загрузиться с нее, Вам необходимо в BIOS выставить соответствующие параметры загрузки (раздел Boot), для того чтобы система загружалась не жесткого диска, а с USB устройства.
У меня на этом все, надеюсь, материал был Вам полезен и интересен, пока!
Every so often I need to make a bootable USB stick in Windows 7 (64 bit) of a debian installer iso. For some reason my googling usually does not reveal a simple solution for this.
I asked on #debian on the OFTC network and got various suggestions. The first suggestions were to use win32 compiled variants of dd or rawwrite. The problem is that there seems to be multiple versions of these tools out there and the ones I tried all seemed to have issues of one sort or another, mostly to do with dd complaining that it would not run on 64 bit Windows. My other issue is that they are command line based. Not that I mind using the command line but it does feel fiddly when all you want to do is get on with writing the image to the USB stick so you can install Debian.
Next I came up with unetbootin. This looks promising and seems to work but it does some very strange rewriting of the boot menus you get on the resulting USB stick. I was confused by the menus when I first saw it and I’m sure novice users would have no idea what to do.
Finally dvs on #debian suggested win32diskimager. This is exactly what I wanted. A point and click solution.
Select the DVD image you want. If the file’s extension is .iso
you’ll need to change the filter from *.img;*.IMG
to *.*
