# Rescue USB Creator
|
||||
This bash script uses the Easy2Boot utility available [here](http://www.easy2boot.com/make-an-easy2boot-usb-drive/make-using-linux/) to create a bootable USB drive with several OS Distributions helpful for troubleshooting and restoring servers.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current list of Distros:
|
||||
|
||||
* acronis-newacronis
|
||||
* acronis_trueimage_home_2012_plus-ati
|
||||
* clonezilla-live
|
||||
* super_grub2_disk_hybrid_2.02s9
|
||||
* systemrescuecd-x86
|
||||
* WinPE_Fixer
|
||||
|
||||
## Resources Directory
|
||||
Files here are used to customize E2B settings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using the script
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://gogs.tfmm.co/tfmm/rescue-usb.git
|
||||
cd rescue-usb
|
||||
chmod +x usbcreator.sh
|
||||
sudo ./usbcreator.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The script will prompt for a device, like `/dev/sdX`. Please use caution here, as the script will then proceed to remove all partitions and data from the provided device.
|
||||
|
||||
## How does it work?
|
||||
|
||||
The script downloads the previously mentioned Easy2Boot utility to create a bootable USB flash drive that can boot from any number of Live CD ISO files.
|
||||
|
||||
It then copies the ISOs to the `_ISO/MAINMENU` directory of the flash drive, these ISOs show up in the boot menu of the flash drive.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to make WinPE Fixer work correctly, we then mount the ISO, and pull the `/tools` directory off of it, and copy it to the root of the USB.
|
||||
|
||||
Then custom menu settings are copied to the drive.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, the device is unmounted.
