Each BIOS has its own menu so this explanation is generic :įind the boot menu and put USB devices before Hard drives/CD for the boot order. Power on your PC and quickly press the corresponding keyboard key to access the BIOS. Shutdown Windows and insert your USB key in one of your PC's USB port (preferably a rear one for a desktop PC). Booting your PC from your LinuxLive USB key: VirtualBox.exe: will launch the full VirtualBox interfaceīe aware that persistence CAN'T be used in VirtualBox.Virtualize_This_Key.exe: will directly launch your Linux in Windows (inside VirtualBox).You should see a folder called VirtualBox. Using your LinuxLive USB key directly within windows: In both methods, it is exactly the same Linux that is booted. You now have two possibilities: the first one is to boot your Linux directly in Windows (=virtualization), the second one being to boot your PC from your LinuxLive USB key. This will force Windows to check the autorun of the key and update the icon.

Your LinuxLive USB key should now be ready! Thank you for using LinuxLive USB Creator.ĭon't forget to share LiLi with your friends if you liked it :-)īefore going any further, properly unplug your USB device then reconnect it.
