server can’t recognize CentOS6.5 booting USB-disk burned with `dd` command

by

I burned a boot USBkey with the command(from CentOS wiki):

dd if=CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso of=/dev/sdb

After the command, I found my USBkey has beened wipe all partitions and it showed entirely freespace of my USB. However, I could find the USB-booting option in my computer’s BIOS after rebooting and it shows the installation UI, and thus I think it will work on server too.

So I reboot my server lenovo x3650m5(PS: I have found that RHEL6 support the server, so CentOS is supposed to support it), but it failed-it found the USB, but it couldn’t load the booting system.

Did I miss anything needed for the boot operation on the server?

Answer

I have heard people say that some USB sticks boot after dd and some don’t, and have had the same experience myself – seems some combinations of USB/motherboard work, and some don’t.

Try a different USB stick.
