How to create a bootable USB stick with Debian

[intern3t]

I have tried creating a bootable usb stick with debian-7.4.0-i386-kde using unetbootin with no success. please how do i go about this?

[scatter]

okay first run the commande lsblk ==> it will show u ur HD and the usb, usually ur HD and the partitions inside of it will go with the name sda, sda1 and in the others ur usb stick with name sdb or sdc then to burn the iso to the usb run the following command

sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/urdebian.iso of=/dev/sdc && sync

PS: /dev/sdc can be /dev/sdb depending on the name of ur usb u found with lsblk
that's all
there are other softwares to do that but burning the iso from terminal is best way

I ran into problems a couple of times already with unebootin, leaving the USB stick non-bootable....seems some sticks doesn't like unebootin (or vice versa)...

if you still have no luck with scatter's advice check out this one:
