DBAN USB Unetbootin Fix


Using Unetbootin to create a bootable usb drive of DBAD fails on boot with the message “Could not find ramdisk image:/ubninit

To fix this insert the usb drive back into a computer and open up “syslinux.cfg” in a text editor. Find and replace all occurrences “ubninit” with “ISOLINUX.BIN” and do the same with “ubnkern” with “DBAN.BZI”. Make sure that you match the case.
