Jan 06, 2017 I recently downloaded Kali Linux (2016.2) iso. I want to run Kali Live. Using UUI I wrote the iso to a 64GB flash drive. The flash drive was formatted to FAT32 by UUI. After restarting my computer to UEFI I tried to boot the flash drive on the temporary boot screen. When I press enter on the flash drive (to boot it) the screen 'blinks' and it just continues to display boot options.
When I tried to boot my PC into Windows 10 I got a screen with a sad face saying unmountable_boot_volume.

I had major problems with the above solutions as DD made the drive UDF format, I managed to compile woeusb by following instructions Here, Make sure software-common-properties is up to date.I also had to edit the changelog in /woeusb/debian and add a version number (I used 1.0.1.1) and edit the
to
to avoid the signature check.
Obviously running this command whilst in that directory.
