I don’t understand what you’re not getting—what you’re missing… ____________________________________ >From the computer to the USB stick. sudo dd if=debian-live-13.7.0-amd64-lxqt.iso of=/dev/sdX obs=4M oflag=syncstatus=progress or sudo pv -Y debian-live-13.7.0-amd64-lxqt.iso >/dev/sdXsync
anyway i prefer : sudo dd if=debian-live.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=16M status=progress oflag=sync ____________________________________From the USB stick to the computer.The destination is the hard drive, not the USB stick. More precisely, if=/dev/sdX and pv /dev/sdX read from the /dev/sdX device—typically the USB stick—and then write to image.iso on the drive where the current working directory is located. So, if /dev/sdX is indeed the USB stick, this copies from the USB stick to the hard drive, not from the hard drive to the USB stick. For example: the source is the USB stick and the destination is the hard drive. [the source OR destination is your thumb drive ?] dd if=/dev/sdX of=image.iso. pv /dev/sdX > image.iso. ________________________________ Does that answer your question? (Typo: it should read “or”—“source or destination.”) ---------------------------- the source or destination is your thumb drive ? dd if=/dev/sdX of=image.iso. pv /dev/sdX > image.iso. [email protected] an end user like myself, the important thing is to be sure the source destination is your thumb drive and not your disk when using these [email protected]'s a source destination? Source OR Destination : Make sure the USB stick is the destination, not the PC’s hard driv------------------------------
