2) Use UNetbootin to create a HDD install option from the .iso. 3) Restart. 4) Select UNetbootin OS option at boot menu. 5) Told \ubnldr.mbr file is missing, code 0xC000007B.. No Kali installation. I suspect it has something to do with interplay between GRUB and MBR but I can't puzzle it out.

Don't use unetbootin. I tried for an hour or two, but then I tried using dd from the command line and it worked perfectly the first time. Basically, here's what you do: 1. Remove all your USB drives except the one you plan to install Kali on. 2. Execute this command in your terminal: sudo dd if=/path/to/kali.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512k 3.

First of all, my name is Precious from Nigeria.. i had Kali Linux iso image, but running it on a virtual machine sucks :P So i thought of getting it on my HDD as dual boot, well i had no CD/Flashdrive at that moment, i searched the internet with no results, i felt that it wasnt possible, but i didnt give up..

1. is this true? if so why? is there something i we need to know about unetbootin? or need to know about unetbootin and kali? Last edited by slaxd; 2015-10-21 at 14:19 . 2015-10-22 #2

I have just downloaded Kali Linux and used UNetBootin to install it to a 16GB maxell; when i tried to install kali linux on my pc i get these errors... Backtrace: 0: Xorg(xorg_backtrace+0x49) [0xb7772d] 1: Xorg (some address) 2 vdso) (_kernal_rt_sigreturn+0x0) [some address] 3: /lib/libc.so.6 4: Xorg (xf86DeleteMode+0x51)

1. Create a bootable (Kali 2017.2) USB using uNetbootin, this worked and I get the live, live persist etc. options 2. Partition my harddrive in Windows so that I have 31 GB unallocated space. 3. Select the install option from the bootable USB 4. Go through the options till the partitioning part. 5.

I having trouble installing Kali 1.0.9 with Unetbootin. With other distros it works fine. I also tried with the program Win32 Disk Imager in the Kali but no luck there either.

I also ran into some confusion with Unetbootin, the docs don't mention that you shouldn't use it and I assumed it was a standard installer for Kali (as it is for many other distros). I further compounded that confusion by successfully using Unetbootin to load Kali 64 onto a stick and it ran fine in Live mode.

I'm facing the same problem, both, in installed and in Live version. And i did NOT use UNETBOOTIN! It seems like there is a problem with the backlight of the Laptop screen, because if i look close i can see the login screen... graphic card is an mobil intel gl40.
