I tried copying f15 tc1 iso to my 16G usb using dd, but laptop doesn't try to boot from it. I did change boot order at power up.
I wrote iso to /dev/sdc (not to a partition). Does that matter?

I've been victim to this: ------------------- Unfortunately, many newer USB keys come with "U3" Windows software (badware?) preinstalled. Removing U3 is highly recommended, and will free up additional space on your USB key, as well as eliminate a source of potential conflicts.
Find a Windows machine, and try these programs to uninstall U3. Unfortunately, they are a bit flaky. If one does not work, try the other:
http://www.sandisk.com/Assets/u3/launchpadremoval.exe
http://www.u3.com/uninstall/ -------------------
Too bad I don't have a windows machine.

Precisely one of the good things abonut U3 is that you can boot from a ISO image without having a usb cd/dvd
http://www.mcgrewsecurity.com/pub/hackingu3/
ie replace the U3 boot .iso image with the iso of your choice
The device emulates a usb hub and a usb optical drive, at the hardware level, in addition to the flash partition. That allows booting iso images everywhere FC

This explains what is being seen. I need to get one of these for my old Thinkpad if this allows booting from a system that does not natively boot from USB.

Yes, that´s the beauty of it. If the system can boot from a USB CD, but refuses to boot from a pen drive, it´ll boot from a U3 flash, because it emulates a USB CD.

That doesn't make U3 as useful as it sounds. I bought a flash drive with Gatesware backup software on a U3 partition and found that, although Fedora could see the partition, it couldn't mount it or do anything with it. It was just a waste of space. I ended up putting it on a friend's Windows box to run the removal program to recover the space.

You don´t understand. The U3 "cd-emulation" partition normally holds only the windows version of the U3 software.
But you can *hack* it, (using the u3 software updater and a local web server) and make it install *ANY* ISO image into the CD-emulation partition.
THAT´s where it becomes useful.
But of course that is not an officially supported procedure, it´s a hack.
But hey, works for me... FC

You're right: I don't understand how I can install or use software on a partition I can't mount.

What part of cd-emulation don´t you understand? optical media is read-only.
Using the U3 updater on a windows machine and changing the hosts file and using a local web server you can make the U3 software updater "burn" any given .iso image into the cd-emulation partition of the U3 flash drive.
THEN you can boot that iso image, as the PC identifies it as a USB cd-rom or dvd-rom drive.

What part of "can't mount" don't *you* understand. Fedora wouldn't even mount the partition read only, meaning that I couldn't even look at what was on it.

Re-read the thread. I´ve already explained the basics of how that is done, it involves running the U3 software on a windows computer, and pointing the updater to a local web server on localhost (127.0.0.1) so instead of going to u3.sandisk.com, it grabs the iso image from your local system and gets and flashes the iso of your choice on the cd-emulation partition.

much better and more informative link.
informative, in that it stated 'kept in house', and a bunch of '*.exe'.
all of which confirms for me, it is ms os, which is bs.
i have no desire to use anything that is dependent of ms.
i now know what not to for usb memory drives.
i do thank you for your reply.

I never claimed otherwise. U3 is propietary technology by SanDisk, for Windows OS.
The fact that U3 CDemulation-on-flash-drive can be hacked to allow replacing the cd image for any other cd image is, however, of use to Linux users as it allows booting Linux from a flash drive on older systems systems whose BIOS feature "USB-FDD" "USB-CD" and "USB-ZIP" as the only options and which can boot from a real (physical) USB CD but have problems booting from USB mass storage drives.
One such example I found on the net: --- "My ThinkPad X60s does not boot from USB drives because of this. It supports USB-FDD and USB-HDD (and USB-CD, which works), but insists that my USB drive is a USB-HDD device, and thus fails to boot from the image on the stick." ---
So yes, U3 is a propietary, windows-only technology, but the fact that it can be hacked to fit any ISO image (even linux) into its cd-emulation partition is very useful, if you ask me. Even if you need access to a Windows machine to do the initial hacking. (you could also do it under virtualbox, I guess).

nor did i intend that you did.
i just do not desire to depend on anything that is in any way dependent on ms proprietary software.
when linux has software that handles 'u3' i will consider such.
if something should possibly show up broken in later linux versions, then one will have to wait for proprietor to fix and possible a new hack has to be worked out.
granted, there is wine, and vm software, but there is still dependency on ms.
i doubt that there are many linux users who will concede that ms is in any shape, form, or fashion, that ms is dependable. other than that you can depend on ms breaking or locking up.
and yes, i am a linux bigot. (gbwg)

yes. i found that page thru a link provided by poster James Wilkinson, which i have yet to reply and thank him for posting links. will after do so after this post.
after reading sourceforge.net pages, u3 does tend to look promising for a unix/linux bigot. :)
like the truism goes 'anything ms can do, linux can do better'.
Be sure to skip the GuidoZ stuff. It seems to panic AV tools.
so i noticed from comments. makes me wonder. but if sourceforge.net tool works, why bother with a lesser known?
thanks for your post.

This page mentions: U3 Tool is an open-source management tool (for Windows and Linux) that allows the locked U3 partition to be removed or replaced with any ISO image. The tool is also sometimes known to write .ISO images to U3 drives which have been damaged and will no longer accept .ISO files via LPInstaller.exe; however, it’s reported that the device must be stopped and unplugged after writing for the update to be seen when reinserting.
and gives the URL http://u3-tool.sourceforge.net/ .
Not having a U3 disk, I can’t make use of this information, but it may be of help to some here.
Hope this helps,
James.

If you want to see the device as a single flash drive (which is surely what liveusb-creator expects), you need to completely remove U3 and cd-emulation.
