We now have a LiveUSB creation method right from the windows. So this should help people who are windows users and have never worked on Unix system create a USB without having to leave the comfort of their windows OS. In order to do this please follow these steps.

Using the Multi Architecture Animux

Requirements:

  1. Minimum 2 GB thumb drive
  2. High speed internet connection
  3. Windows OS on the machine
  4. Winzip or any zip extractor program
  5. Access to command prompt

Steps:

  1. Download the Animux_multi.zip from the download page
  2. Find out from my computer what drive your USB is mounted (eg. E: F: etc). We will assume E:
  3. Unzip the files onto your USB drive
  4. From Windows Click Start -->run --> cmd which brings up the command window
  5. In the command window (Based on our assumption of our USB mounted on E drive) type E: + hit Enter key (replace with appropriate drive)
  6. In the command window type, cd \boot\syslinux + hit Enter key
  7. {CAUTION: IF DONE WRONG, WILL MAKE THE HOST MACHINE UNBOOTABLE.} In the command window type makeboot.bat + hit Enter. This will install the Master Boot Record on your USB drive.
  8. Umount the USB and Unplug the drive.
  9. Take it to your test machine with its bios set up to boot off USB and boot from USB.
  10. Pick the right architecture option (32Bit/64Bit) based on you machine
