Preparing for Installation from USB Storage Drives
--------------------------------------------------

To install Virtuozzo from a USB storage drive, you will need a 2 GB or higher-capacity USB drive and the Virtuozzo 7 distribution ISO image.

Make a bootable USB drive by transferring the distribution image to it with ``dd``.

    .. important:: Be careful to specify the correct drive to transfer the image to.

For example, on Linux:

::

    # dd if=vz-iso-7.0.0-3391.iso of=/dev/sdb

And on Windows (with `dd for Windows <http://www.chrysocome.net/dd>`__):

::

    C:\>dd if=vz-iso-7.0.0-3391.iso of=\\?\Device\Harddisk1\Partition0
