How would I assign a UUID to a 8gig pendrive?

[argedion]

I tried to run the PCLINUXOS live usb program last night and it gave me the error:

Code: [Select]

NO UUID found program will now exit I created a live.iso using mylivecd do I need to use the PCLINUXOS live usb or can i use unetbootin? Will have a little time this afternoon to mess with it. The iso is 1.4 gig so i have 2 options either a usb or a dvd. I really want to "try before i buy" kind of thing.

Check that you have created the partition correctly and that it is formatted to ext2 or ext3.

Also get the device node of the partition ....  something like  /dev/sdx1 ....  it will be different but in that form.

In a terminal run

blkid /dev/sdx1  <enter>

which should show the UUID amongst the other info.

If that is successful run the liveusb creator again.
