So, I have an ISO that I want to write to a bootable USB stick. The problem is that the ISO does not have a partition table. From my understanding, this type of ISO should be written on a DVD. Can I write my ISO to my 8GB USB? I also tried it via "dd" and it did not work.

Edit: I tried it in Virtualbox and it worked. It means that the image is bootable.

Edit: Maybe add a partition table to the ISO?

try the following:

In FreeBSD:

dd if=./your-DVD.iso of=/dev/da0 bs=1m conv=sync where da0 is the USB stick

In Linux:

dd if=./your-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1m where X is your USB stick.

NOTE the easiest way to discover which device name corresponds to your USB stick would be to perform an ls /dev before, and after inserting your USB stick.
