Create a bootable USB drive quickly.
Create a bootable USB drive quickly.
Hey everyone, I'm looking for urgent assistance. I've been trying to create a Live Kali Linux USB for a long time, but none of the three USBs I've used have worked. My laptop uses UEFI, and even after changing the boot order, it keeps running Windows. The USB is 4GB, and I've used RUFUS to install it, but it still doesn't work. I've also tried formatting it as NTFS and FAT32, but nothing seems to be right. What went wrong?

2. Refer to the instructions provided on the distro website once more.
3. Navigate to BIOS and disable Windows 8 features before starting the system. These options are often labeled as "fast boot" or similar alternatives.
4. Avoid installing Kali Linux on the hard drive—it’s not suitable for everyday use and may contain unsafe content.
