few easy options, what boot type EFI or BIOS.. size of USB? Few more harder options (but better in other cases/uses etc)

But hold off with Fatdog for a few hours to a day, they just closed RC thread = new final release VERY SOON..

newer less dangerous option (no dd command ) with more flexiblity for EFI

dd method posted above this post is the easiest for booting for combo BIOS and/or EFI but limits USB usefulness.

Many users have missed this statement on the FATDOG webpage:

An USB flashdrive on which the Fatdog.iso has been written following the steps above, cannot be re-partitioned with Gparted anymore because Fatdog's hybrid partitions (combining ISO partition, GPT and MBR partitions) confuse Gparted, regardless of whether it is treated with fix-usb.sh or not. It will boot, it will work, and it will work very well with Linux on BIOS and UEFI system, but yo cannot re-partition it again with Gparted because it thinks that the flashdrive has invalid partitions.

If you ever need to re-partition the flash drive again, you need to be aware of two things:
a) Doing so will delete all data on the flash drive, so please back up your data first.
b) It will remove Fatdog installation permanently

Its obscure and is delineated on that page.

Hope this is helpful to understanding what will happen to your USB no matter what its size is.
