I have installed and used Bootable USB's to install or run Ubuntu. I want to create say a recovery drive lets say
/dev/sda1is/efi/boot/dev/sda2is/dev/sda3/home/dev/sda4is the recovery drive with Xubuntu live installed
I use this command most times to create the bootable usb:
dd if=/ubuntu-1x.xx.iso of=/dev/sdb
It always works perfect boots right up from usb as if it were a dvd. Works great.
My ideal setup is to format the drive gpt and then make 3 recovery partitions
/dev/sda1with Ubuntu live flavor 1/dev/sda2with Ubuntu live flavor 2/dev/sda3with Ubuntu live flavor 2/dev/sda4is a logical drive off same harddrive that will have all my other partitions.
So now all I have to do is boot live and mount certain partitions I need to install the os or just run live and mount the /home/username directory or whatever the case.
Is it possible to boot a harddrive and then install to a partition on the same drive or a logical/extended partition?
