How to Create Persistent USB Key with Ubuntu 17.10

I use linux ubuntu 17.10 via a 32GB USB. Everytime I boot it, it doesn't save my data. Therefore, I found that I can create a live persistence key which I did with the help of this website: https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/14912/create-a-persistent-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive/
Which I did but doesn't save my data.
Notes: I dont want to install linux on my computer.



Thank you for your help.

  • Are you saying those Windows instructions are wrong? Or are you asking us which step you apparently didn't follow? I'm not sure I see how this is an Ubuntu question. It seems like a Windows question.

    If you are making the USB in Windows try Universal pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3 If you are making it in Ubuntu use mkusb help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb both make bootable Linux USB's with unlimited persistence.

Use Lili(LinuxLiveUsb). This application allows creation of a live disk with persistence.

    • In Ubuntu, Debian and many but not all 're-spins' [operating systems] based on them, you can install mkusb and create a persistent live drive according to the following links,



      help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb



      help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb/persistent




    • In Windows, you can install Win32 Disk Imager, a cloning tool, and clone an image file with [a persistent live operating system and] mkusb. See the following links,



      wiki.ubuntu.com/Win32DiskImager/compressed-image_2_USB-or-SD



      Compressed image file with a persistent live system




    • You can also try with Unetbootin according to the following link,



      unetbootin.github.io/

      I have used the Universal USB Installer for years and never had a problem with persistence.
      https://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/

      as a side note the multiboot tool is also fantastic at creating a boot disk that contains as many live environments as you want.
