I downloaded Kali Linux and I made a bootable usb of it using the universal installer. But when I try booting it from the usb the os is not detected on the usb: it only says
No operating system could be found
So can some one please help me get a genuine Kali Linux iso file and show me how I boot it live or dual boot it with Windows 10?
The problem may be in your Bios settings. It could be that your computer is not even looking for removable drives when booting up.
On most PCs you can override the 'default' boot option (boot from hard drive) by invoking a boot menu on startup (F10, F12 or something else depending on the computer). Or change the default boot order in your Bios: USB (first), hard disk (second) etc.
First, check whether the iso is corrupted of not. For that, just open it in window, it should be mounted as Disk drive. Then Use the rufus for creating the bootable usb. Its the best for me . https://rufus.akeo.ie/
This is what I did:
igorware-hasher or any other tool.Make sure you use a PC running the same operating system architecture for the version of the ISO you downloaded, 32- or 64-bit. I tried putting kali-linux-2016.1-amd64.iso on a USB stick with a 64-bit Windows 7 PC and it worked, but wouldn't boot on a 32-bit laptop, so I redid it with kali-linux-2016.1-i386.iso on a 32-bit PC and it worked like a charm.
i386 ISO instead of the amd64 ISO when targeting a 32-bit machine. It doesn't matter if the machine you used to write the USB stick is 64-bit
