On every startup of my live USB I hear a loud beep and it won’t turn off. A forum suggestion says I should remove a specific line in the syslinux file, but I can’t locate it.

Usually you can't change live USBs because they use a non-readable ISO format. You'll have to edit the ISO file source instead, which isn't a simple task.

They’re not editable in their current state, but you can change them if possible. The main limitation is the physical design of a real disc. You can still edit ISO files, and there are many tools available for that purpose. On the other hand, @Big Pecks, are you confirming you’re running in persistent mode?

- Try a lightweight utility to switch modes
- Use a command-line tool for persistent settings
- Consider a script to automate the process
Let me know if you need more options!

When using persistent mode, you can change the drive settings during startup. For tools that modify ISO files, MagicISO is a notable option, though many alternatives exist.

your files appear to be saved in persistent mode. I located the file, but editing it shows only read access. I attempted to change permissions to rw, but hiding the partition still works. However, I can't access the .cfg file and encounter an error when trying to mount it as ./. Please let me know if you'd like to try the program again.

It's simple to verify this when you choose it at startup in persistent mode. (Avoid encrypted persistence, opt for standard persistence.) This behavior continues even with sudo. If issues persist after rebooting, consider replacing the pendrive.

You utilized magic iso to modify menu.cfg within the isolinux directory.
