TrueCrypt RescueDisk burn ISO image to USB to boot from that

Hi

I have TrueCrypt Rescue Disk iso image file. If i burn it to CD I can boot from the CD in order to perform Rescue tasks. I suggest it it a Linux type bootable CD. How ever.The end user doesn't have CD drive. He is now visiting China. Is it possible to burn TC resue disk iso file to USB stick so he can boot from that?

The end user has Win7 (probably 32 bit version).

Thanks,

Juha

unetbootin maybe easier, in any case it's a more generic solution for creating bootable USB devices.

Have you actually tried these solutions? I'm not sure but it is possible the since it is TrueCrypt Rescue Disk we are burning to USB there migt be something strange involved.

How did you create or where did you get the TrueCrypt rescue ISO image file from?

Hi

I'll allready tested the unetbootin and it didn't seem to work.

TC Rescue Disk creation
I'll created the TC Rescue disk (CD) following the default TC installation wizard. That is:

Saved the iso file to my USB stick.
Using ISO Recorder burned the iso file to CD.
TC verified the CD
etc.

No I have both the CD version of the TC Rescue Disk and also iso-version archieved to our file server.

I'm affraid the procedure will be too difficult to the end user who is off shore right now.

Thanks gerwinjansen

The block of Florian Freundt seems to cover the issue. How ever, it seems to be too tricky for end user to follow. Will investigate it later on.

Grea that there is a method to make TC rescued USB stick.
