writing images to USB from Windows 7 fails

Exception write during caught:System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception:
Access denied
 At ImageWriter.DriveAccess.Write(Byte||buffer,UInt32len)
 At ImageWriter.MainWindow,WriteToDisk()

Your user doesn't have the permission to write to the disk, most likely --Zbuhman 17:28, 19 November 2011 (MST)

Even when right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator" I got this. --IBBoard 13:16, 12 December 2011 (MST)

Persistent file system

Under the persistent file system section it tells you to add

kiwi_hybridpersistent=yes

"at the initial boot prompt" (presumably meaning Grub, although that could be clearer). The question is, how do I make the persistent filesystem persistent (i.e. auto-add it to the boot options every single boot)?

You modify your grub/syslinux configuration, appending that to the modeline. Zbuhman 11:23, 20 April 2012 (MDT)

Create Live USB (console) won't work on Ubuntu

for some reason the dd command described produces an unusable disk when run on Ubuntu (12.10). However I used the Program Disks successfully.

1. When Disks is open, tap the More Actions button (The Gears) on the upper right.
2. Select "Restore Disk Image".
3. Select the openSuse ISO.
4. You are done.

Rawrite32 for Windows

i have tried several other utilities [suse imagewriter, unetbootin, ...] without any success

this app did the job correctly and fast, it also calculates checksums for the selected iso
