We have not recommended unetbootin in the past, it alters the USB device to much. dd as bitsnpcs mentioned is a far better solution. See here to zero wipe that USB device first - https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/index...488#msg488 Do sudo fdisk -l to see what device the USB is. You MUST heed the warnings first as dd is extremely unforgiving to mistyping and wrongly specified drives! Zeroing the drive will take some time so just be patient and wait it out.
