Maybe it thinks too much over the entrails of the ISO. (Does it perhaps have a plain copy mode which serves you better ?) > So I'm back to using dd. Selfishly i advise you to put on belt and suspenders in this case: https://wiki.debian.org/XorrisoDdTarget > I even try XFBurn, but get told by it that burn has not been enabled yet. Xfburn is for optical media, not for memory cards. Whatever, if the exact message is "Burn mode is not currently implemented." in the "Burn image" box, then click at the circle arrow button next to the media type display. That's where the mouse cursor is in the second screenshot of https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=339720 Afterwards Xfburn should be aware of the actual medium type and the appropriate burn opportunities. > WTH good is a space wasting file called XFBurn [...] ? In case of trouble i advise to use a command line burn program and to copy+paste its exact error messages into any rant against its behavior. Examples for xorriso, growisofs, and wodim are given at https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#record-unix The wodim example would work with cdrskin, too. They all are for optical media, not for memory cards. Have a nice day :) Thomas
