Sometimes I use the dd command to "burn" USB flash drives. From my notes:
Format:
Find the device
df -h
Make sure it's UNMOUNTED
sudo umount /dev/sdxn
Format using ONE of the following
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdxn
sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdxn
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdxn
[note: xn comes from the df command. Typically b1 or c1.]
Burn:
Find the device (again, a different way, just showing off now...)
fdisk -l
umount /dev/sdx
dd bs=4M if=linux-lite-4.8-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=4M
Test:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda /dev/sdx
[note: I'm not consistent in including "sudo" to my notes when it's required. You'll probably encounter "not authorized" (or something) and need to add "sudo" to some of those commands. (You can also do "sudo -s" to keep the session sudo'ed. But, that's a risk of doing something unintended. But, so is up-arrowing through your command-line history and pressing enter on the wrong sudo prefixed command. Just, be careful.).]
