When I discovered Kon-Boot and posted it in this blog, I got many request in forum on how to put Kon-Boot ISO image file to USB. I seldom boot a computer using USB because only modern computers is able to support that and a lot of my client’s computer are still old enough to only support booting from CD. Booting up a computer with USB is very convenient because USB is small, cheap and convenient. Imagine carrying a small pendrive with Kon-Boot and you can virtually login to any password protected Windows or Linux computer…
Many of you tried to extract the Kon-Boot ISO image file but ended up seeing that it’s blank. The image file is NOT blank and even the coder of Kon-Boot mentions that. It’s just that you can’t see it in Windows. For those that are having trouble in putting Kon-Boot ISO to USB, I will show you how easy it is to do that. Remember, computers are made easy in Raymond.CC ;)
There are 2 types of Kon-Boot images. The floppy image and CD ISO. You can use UNetbootin, a tool that allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD. The trick here is to use the floppy image instead of the CD ISO. If you don’t get what am I saying, just follow the few simple step-by-step on how to burn Kon-Boot ISO to USB.
1. Download latest version of UNetbootin and install.
2. Download Kon-Boot floppy image and extract the zip file to get FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img file.
3. Plug in your USB flash drive.
4. Run UNetbootin, select Diskimage, click the drop down menu to select Floppy and browse for the FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img file.
5. Make sure USB Drive is selected for Type and the drive letter is the USB flash drive that you want to install Kon-Boot. Click OK. It should take a few seconds to finish installing Kon-Boot floppy image into your USB.
6. You can click the Reboot Now button and boot up your computer with USB. You may have to set your BIOS to do that. On newer computers, there should be a hotkey to show the Boot Menu. My MSI motherboard hotkey is F8.
7. If you get it right, you should see a UNetbootin screen with 10 seconds countdown to select Default from the list. You can either hit enter to immediately boot Kon-Boot or just wait until 10 seconds for UNetbootin to automatically boot the default profile for you.
8. When you see the Krypto Logic screen, hit a key to continue. Just wait for Windows or Linux to boot normally. Now you can login to any user account without entering a password!
I have no idea why UNetbootin doesn’t work with Kon-Boot CD ISO image file, maybe it is not compatible. However, you can see that UNetbootin supports a pretty good amount of linux distros and possibly other ISO that is not in the list. Well at least we got Kon-Boot into USB thanks to the floppy image file.

Failure. The whole point in Kon-boot is to bypass password entering, but UNetbootin needs a password to install.
thanks for the guide.

Hello, Why i got this message on booting?
Invalid or destroyed bootable!
I followed a guide at: irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/kon-boot-from-usb which gives the steps to follow after using this guide
wow, pulling the drive at the end worked! thanks!
thks!!!!!!! works perfect!!!!!!! thks again!
If you get the loop when you got back to the the unetbootin screen pull your usb and press enter you don’t need to pull it when it says booting from EOT… also would be nice if a coder added in a boot option to the unetbootin that way you can just chose what you want in that screen without a restart
i need a ,img file so it can work , your link to extract the zip file doesnt work
HELP PLEASE!!!
The same prob on win 7 starter it keeps restarting to kon-boot if you remove flash after first atempt it will lock on kon-boot screen. Any Ideas?
Thanks Great tool
When i reboot and select the usb drive it says boot error ??

why? =(
hello you can go to piratebay.com and search for kon boot
you may get what you wanted
It does work but you have to be quick.
After the first round and when Kon-Boot starts counting down again, pull the memory stick out.
You will get an error – press Enter
You will get another error – press Enter
Windows will load and at the log on screen – just press Enter again.
It’s work For XP and VISTA ..Your’s Great!!!!! Raymond
Thanks
for anybody who didn’t do that.While you downloads and install please disable antivirus software.I think clear in any steps.
Why is it downloading so many files i only want the Unbootin file???? HELP?
i also have problem like others
where are u rayomnd???
pls help us…
or anybody…
what omair2084 said works! just pull out USB
“For those of you who have the reboot problem. I just removed the USB when it said
>>Booting up ! -EOT
and after a couple of tries I got through to windows.
It’s the timing I guess to remove the USB. Just remove it at the right time, wait for your hdd’s turn on the boot list.
And your done.

@sweetrobot
Your Boot-CD does not contain Kon-Boot v.1.1 it´s still Version 1.0 and does support Linux but no x64 support.
The “real v1.1 which is comercial now doesent support linux anymore and have x64 support.
sweetrobot method doesnt work it’s still loops !!!!!!!!!
FUKC!
Hi!
i use win7 32bit
i used Unetbooting to get the Floppy version of KonBoot to an USB. when restarting i get the Unetbooting Screen –> then it continues to the KryptoLogic screen –> then i pushed a Key and the screen changes to a blackscreen and then nothing happens :(
please help
Well this board puts the -’s together there should not be a space after the – and before hook either
I did get Frax’s way to work. If you are copying the contents of the menu.lst file straight from his post that wont work. You need to type it out by hand and make sure you put 2 -’s in front of the word hook
map — hook
Space properly too.
SOLUTION
I tried EVERY method listed here and on several sites (including irongeek) with no luck, until I stumbled upon this:
ultimatebootcd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2155
This release of UBCD (Ultimate Boot CD) contains kon-boot v 1.1 – this version is NOT free, and supports x64 based OS’s.
Windows Tutorial (Tutorial tested on Win7 x64):
1. Simply, download the referenced file: multiupload.com/RSRA9AOX8W
2. Extract the files within the downloaded ISO (to make life easier, I strongly recommend you extract to something like C:\ubcd)
3. Go to the directory where the files were extracted and then find ubcd\tools\win32\ubcd2usb\ and run ubcd2usb.cmd (If extracted as suggested in step 2, go to C:\ubcd\ubcd\tools\win32\ubcd2usb\ and run ubcd2usb.cmd)
4. Follow the prompt in the console with examples (If following my example, simply type “UBCD2USB c:\ubcd f:” where c:\ubcd is where the iso files are and f: is the usb drive)
5. Press ENTER to execute. This will format the drive and make it a bootable version of the UBCD, containing many utils, including KON-BOOT v 1.1.
6. Simply place the formatted and now bootable UBS drive into a computer and start it up.
7. Once booted into UBCD’s main menu, select ‘Others’
8. Once in the ‘Others’ menu, you will find KON-BOOT V1.1 :)
9. Select kon-boot and run as normal. It should do it’s thing WITHOUT LOOPING, and start loading windows after the first time around.
Hope this helps some folks. It worked for me, but we have found many times that most solutions are not universal. If it works for any of you, gives others feedback to let them know if they are wasting their time or not.
Cheers,

sir using netbootin software i mounted an iso image file windows xp successfully…..my laptop also detects it….when i boot from usb pen drive….it shows netbootin screen…..there is default option…when i press enter
it shows”automatic boot in 5 0r 6 or 10….seconds”
it keeps showing this….
and wat i huv to do in edit option…..plz help me sir…..
i m using HP pendrive…..
I follow all the different methods introduced here but non of them worked unfortunately! (the error message your windows NT doesn’t have enough memory …(or sth likes this))
I am really tired now and I decide to reinstall the windows. but thanks to all who tried to solve the problem.
Respect to Frax #69 and Lupin #84. following their method got me into XP Pro SP3.
cheers guys !

Hey guys, I’ve tried Ray’s method, followed it to the letter, but on reboot, all i see is “BOOT ERROR”!! When I take usb out the press return, I boot into windows as normal (with password still needed). Can anyone help please?
i use Kon-Boot & UNetbootin to break my pass to win 7.
thanks raymond, my netbook work normal again.
This doesnt work for Windows 7
Alright, after reading all the comments and trying to figure out why it kept looping i finally realized that it’s because my USB has top boot priority and when kon-boot is done with it’s business the freakin USB is still inserted. Soooooo just take your USB out after it dose it’s thing, when you see it counting down…
you’ll get a message saying to switch drives or something and hit any key – just hit any key and your all set. That’s ALL you had to say Raymond. And thanks buddy
I can use kon-boot in my laptop with windows xp and it’s work very good..thank’s to frax..
but it’s doesn’t work in windows 7 32-bit..
plz ray or someone help me..
(sorry, my english is bad..i’m a indonesian)
what is the purpose of this ? if we forget the password we can even install the UNetbootin, because it needs administrator password to install. Can you provide method that doesn’t need any administrator right or whatsoever ?
sir i want 2 boot windows xp from my usb drive…..i hv d image of it…can u plzz give me a menu.lst command 2 boot xp..plzzz :-) thnkq..
my 8gb flash drive has contents in it. Will this format my usb or the contents will remain?
im having the same loop problem but it loops twice then goes to a blank screen and when i press enter it flashes.is this normal.how long should i wait for windows to boot.and where did ray go?
Hi Ray…i did everything correctly but the windows 7 keeps on freezing on the startup screen…it is 32-bit
Frax’s method works.
I was initially getting this:
>>KON-BOOT ver. 1.0 – ready! h4×0Rin uH?
>>Checking SMAP BIOS entries…
>>Dummy BIOS detected, trying to fix SMAP entries.
>>Booting up ! -EOT
With unetbootin
The only change I had to make (and this could be because of my browser) was to change:
map –hook
to
map – -hook (remove the space between the two dashes).
I think the blog is making them into a single dash in non standard typeset.
After that, the konboot has become the destroyer of password.
Damned things keeps on looping. Once Kon Boot says Booting Up, I get returned to the Unetbootin bootloader. Piece of SHIT! I am going to try removing the usb drive while “Booting up”, as one user suggested.
Hi, i have problem with download a floppy file from authors site. Can someone upload this file on other server? Megaupload, rapidshare or something else. Thank you.
For those of you who have the reboot problem. I just removed the USB when it said
>>Booting up ! -EOT
and after a couple of tries I got through to windows.
It’s the timing I guess to remove the USB. Just remove it at the right time, wait for your hdd’s turn on the boot list.
And your done.
I am not clear what you explain regard kon-boot USB.
I did as you said , still have a big problem.
Let me know, clearly, Plz
Thanks you so much
i am having some prob wt it …. everything is workin fine untill the konboot screen comes ….. aftr that nothing happens it just gets struck at that screen….help me
Hi, Thanks man
I tried it on vista it works and i tried it on xp it doesnt work it says no kernel image or something after i boot from usb
Hi, I tried it on 5 different PC/Laptop and it works to boot from the USB, but I had on each PC a different problem. Once I only got a black screen, nothing else, on the next I´ve seen the main screen to select the OS but after that nothing happened anymore, I also got the error message “dummy bios detected” and on the last two PCs it didnt boot at all. All this errors seems to depend on the installation of the OS and its settings. After USB I tried it with the ISO CD and had the exact the same problems. It didnt get it to bypass the logon, is there anything else I have to do?
I try what you say. it works fine but on my XP professional I can not manage to access the bios to ask to boot on the usb (I have a tablet PC). and when I put the USB at the boot time I have an error asking me to remove the disk.
what could I do?
I feel the access to the bios is protected by admin right
Hey
I see the UNetbootin screen then the Krypto Logic screen but after that nothing happens. If i push any button then blank screen comes. If i don’t push any button then i see the unetbootin screen forever.
I downloaded the flopy version, not the cd one.
PLease help me to solve my problem.
Thanks
pama
I’ll try it right now for a friend who has been victim of a bad joke. However, if “ABC Formation, 2001″ tells you about something, don’t hesitate and e-mail me!
Thanks for all, gud job.
after installing these,,, the bios dont show the option to boot frm removal drive…:S.(removal drive was the floppy)…iam supposed to select the flopy rite ?. as the first booting device?.
Raymond, do this method will erase all files in our flashdrive?
OK, I’m not able to figure out. I can’t boot from USB :(
One question, does it support NTFS harddisk. I had followed the Raymonds way, formated flashdrive in fat32. Looks like PC boots from flash drive (but no obvious GUI) and nothing happens. Is it a problem because my harddisk is in NTFS system?
Will try and see Frax method..
Hi everyone , I manged to get this all done (thanks to Asfour for telling us about Grub4dos)
Asfour’s way wont work, So here how to do it.
First get Grub4dos
Now start grubinst_gui.exe and select your your flash (Double Check it – and i let you figure things out yourself)
from Grub4dos copy/paste grldr and grub to your usb flash.
Obtain FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img and put .img file into your flash memory
Make a file called menu.lst (hint: make sure its NOT ending with .txt – other wise I say stop and this directions not for you) containing the following:
title Koon-Boot
map (hd0,0)/FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img (fd0)
map –hook
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map –hook
chainloader (fd0)+1
rootnoverify (fd0)
That’s all it will pass and everything would be fine.
For others who wants to know more. I am using syslinux and grub4dos with this in syslinux.cfg
label Gurb4dos
kernel /grub.exe
and the same steps goes from here. If someone found a way to do it all with syslinux feel free to speak and yeah you could use ubnkern and ubninit instead of .img , if you know whats i am talking about
There are lots of resources out there for grub4dos, check out bootland or the 911cd forums. You can’t boot directly from a windows install cd – once the kernel loads at install then you lose all mappings to “virutal cds” that you may have made. You can install winxp from usb (see msfn forums) but not in the way you describe…
Hey Asfour… thanks for pointing to the Grub4 – it’s interesting project.
Is there any tutorial that you would recommend me so I can learn the commands? help command when I boot using Grub doesn’t help me much.
I’m especially interested in knowing how to mount ISOs… managed to mount WinXPInstall.iso with:
title WindowsXP
map –mem (fd0)/WinXP.iso (hd32)
map –hook
chainloader (hd32)
… but konboot.iso won’t work with this commands. I mean it seems that image is mounted… after chainloader command it gives me two lines of text… and just stands there. When I type in boot to force booting – it says -> Error 8 : Kernel must be loaded before booting
Tnx
Rahul Isola & Barti:
it does loop back again to the Grub menu but it did the work really.
Just boot to Hard Disk from the Grub menu and you will see it is just WORKED.
Make an entry in Grub menu in the menu.lst file to boot from Hard Disk or use the following one:
title Boot from hard disk
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
map –hook
chainloader (hd0)+1
boot
JUST TRY IT…!!!
thnx buddy

RESPONSE TO MY LAST POST
Failed to read the full thing. IT’S SAFE TO DOWNLOAD. NOD IS AT FAULT SO NOT TO WORRY
RAY GOT BACK TO ME VERY FAST AND EASED MY MIND
THANKS MATE!
On trying to download this. NOD 32 jumped in and said the following-
probably unknown TSR.BOOT virus connection terminated – quarantined Threat was detected upon access to web by the application: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe.
FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img probably unknown TSR.BOOT virus
———————————————————————————
CONTACTED RAY AND AWAITING RESPONSE WILL GET BACK ON THIS SO DO NOT WORRY AS OF YET!!!!!
Asfour I can’t find Grub4dos and memdisk.bin !!
Can you give me this files please ?
Thanks !
He had n’t reply…
I wait his reply and I try to make a USB Kon-Boot with other technics ^^
Thanks !
I Used Grub4dos to do that and it worked so fine.{Tested it many times on many computers}
The How to is as follows:
1- Install Grub4dos or use Grub installer {search for it on the internet} and make your USB flash disk a bootable
2- copy konboot.img {floppy image version}to your USB flash {on the root of it }
3- download memdisk.bin and copy it to the same place as konboot.img {search for it on Internet too}
4- add an entry in the file menu.lst {on USB flash root} … like this :
title Kon-Boot
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/memdisk.bin
initrd=/konboot.img
that’s all you need.Then you will have kon-bbot installed on your USB flash disk and you can add different tools too.
search for Grub4dos options and capabilities
That’s ALL.
ASFOUR
Thank you, Barti. Write here as Piotr Bania answer.
Same for me I’m sure that I have downloaded the floppy img.
I see the UnetBootin menu, and konboot launches and I see the kryptoslogic splashscreen.
If I remove the USB key now, then press enter, at the end of the process konBoot fails to launch windows, as it is unable to read original MBR.
If I keep the USB stick at its place, at the end of the process, instead of launching windows, I see the UnetBootin menu again…
Raymond, Please assist
I send a mail to Piotr Bania (the one who make Kon-Boot) about this problem who many persons have and I have too and I will say you if he reply !
Thanks !
SMArt, what you said is very interesting please help me if you find a way to make a Kon-Boot USB WORKING !
I let you my msn : ratlasic@hotmail.fr
And I hope you will succeed !!!
If Raymond can help us it can be good ^^

got same looping problem. i think it got somthing to do with me having more than one harddisk connected, and each harddisk has more than one windows installed..
i dont think kon boot support dual booting yet
Thanks Ray for hearing our prayers
If i mount the floppy image to my usb drive, it loops once the kernal has been loaded.
I have also tried changing the startup order of the computer so that it boots from HDD 1st before usb, then manually select to boot from USB from startup.
AKA – it does not work for me on two seperate computers, but i do see it trying to work.
Maybe there is a way in editing the syslinux.cfg to boot from HDD1 so that we can manually boot it afterwards.

Please HELP!!
Thanks Raymond, very nice tip.
2. Download Kon-Boot floppy image
the link dosen’t work
????
can u re post it ??
thanx Ray
konboot disk is something like a rootkit, that loads to memory before OS and blocks OS’s mechanism of verification. if you open floppy image with archiver or write it on floppy, there are no files. Author wrote konboot in TASM, so the diskette contains raw code for processor without anything else. ISO image is empty too, except diskette image added as boot, so no need to try to write the ISO image of konboot to flash-drive.
The UNetbootin utility just stupidly copies necesary files then makes the flash-drive bootable with syslinux and adds to syslinux.cfg strings to load disk image with syslinux boot manager. It handles Linux CD-images only and not all of them may work after installation tu USB drive. UNetbootin is just stupid grafic interface and contains nothing useful.
As I tried to add konboot to my multiboot flashdrive, I met some difficults. When USB-Flash disk is chosen as bootable, it is mapped as hd0 – the first hard drive of computer. So after konboot loading, it chains the boot to the first bootable drive in system. So the flash-drive boots again and again. I tested it at home on my Intel DP43TF, and tomorrow I will test it at work on MSI, ASUS and Gigabyte motherboards. Mapping of disk by default depends to BIOS of motherboard as far as I know. If I find the way to run konboot from USB-disk, I will write about it here in comments.
Anyway, thank you, Raymond, for your blog.
Sorry for bad English, I’m from Russia
Good luck to all :)
Same prob as others…looping menu…m sure i used d FD image…was really lookin 4wrd 2 use it… :-(
Making all steps right, don´t working.
I maked too many tries and not work.
I yet configured the motherboard in several modes, but none.
Someone working? I see anyone… in all comments…
Maybe… just works in a few motherboards…
it asks me to select Distribution. which 1 i shuld select?
I get the same results as Barti. I used only the floppy image. Gotta be doing something wrong.
Hi Raymond !
I definitely used the floppy image. I followed step by step your instructions.
I see we are many to encounter this same UNetBootin menu loop problem…
Hope you’ll help !
Thanks in advance
Help raymond….im getting the same result as Barti
it comes to the Unet menu for about 3 times, then the screen goes blank and ive to restart my comp again…..maybe you can suggest some other way to get my pass back!!
thanks ray for the tip anyway.
The same problem with me! :)
just wondering, does it change the current user name or pass?
for example, if ma bro uses a win xp. will he notice that i enterd? (viewed user name changed for instance?, instead of say “Ahmedoz”, he finds “administrator”, or “kon boot” etc)
cant test atm in ma pc, bios dosnt support USB (WAY too lazy to buy a CD either :D)
I retryed to boot with my USB but I’m blocked here :

I have the same problem as Kislay Kishore I boot with my USB on 2 computers but it do the same as Kislay Kishore !
I have downloaded the good .img file and it don’t work and I don’t know why help me please Raymond !!
Thanks !
thanks ray! awesome post! :)
working here with out any glitch.
Wow, I was actually expecting you to pursue this subject (Kon-Boot to USB, as others have been asking for), Raymond. Thank you!
Thanks Ray for another great post!
i believe this should be possible some day! awesome
thanks Raymond
Thank u for the UNetbootin tool but its neither working on my desktop(old one) nor on the laptop(newer). I get to see the UNetbootin screen again and again.
hey ray.Did you figure out my problem???????????
raymond, i tried all of these:
i downloaded it andextracted and then burned it to my USB. But after booting kon-boot, the Unet Menu comes again and again.
@Jon: Definitely it works on my side or else I won’t post it.
Make sure you use the Floppy Image, NOT the CD-ISO!
Ray, have you tested if it works? It doesn’t work for me. Kon-Boot kept on looping and never went on to the Windows OS boot screen.
Am I missing some steps?!
Its probably because the ISO file has the IMG file inside…
raymond..i can use the download link in step.1~
cant reach the network it says..
i dont seem to understand why ppl go for stuff like quickheal when theres kaspersky around…either that person is a newbe at computers or he/she does not have sound knowledge of viruses and have never been attacked by a good one like the rest of us
yay ray thx finally i can use kon-boot to usb…using a CD for such a small file is a complete waste and for a floppy..no one knows whether its gonna work the next second
@pankaj: If you like QuickHeal and it works perfectly for you, then continue using it.
@Franck: Did you download the CD-ISO or Floppy Image?
@Rixiu: You should learn how to extract a ZIP file first :P
@Madhu: Download the Floppy Image, not the CD-ISO.
Ray,
whenever i use kon boot cd,after pressing the Enter key i get a messege saying
“Windows NT has not found enough extended memory. 7MB of extended memory is
reuiqred to run Windows NT. YOu may need to upgrade your computer or run a
configuration program provided by the manufacturer.
Memory Map:……..”
How can i solve this Ray???? PLEASE HELP
I checked my memory[512mb]it’s fine and the computer is working well.As far as i know there is no booting problems.It takes even my bootable xp cd,ubuntu cd,PCLogin now cd,OphCrack cds very well.Whenever i use those mentioned cds they work very well…..
PLEASE SOLVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFULL!!!!!!!!!!!
Raymond. I hav done the same procedure u mentioned above. But Kon-Boot again and again rebooting and giving the UNetbootin screen only.
I saw some debate regarding Kon-Boot to USB, many were wondering how. Thanks for lighting the path to it.
That is gr8 Raymond.. But can we burn in this way windows XP iso image to USB for installation through USB!!
The second URL
2. Download Kon-Boot floppy image and extract the zip file to get FD0-konboot-v1.1-2in1.img file
Does not work… Any suggestions ?
Thanks, but it doesn’t work on my computer.
I see the UnetBootin menu, and konboot launches and I see the kryptoslogic splashscreen.
If I remove the USB key now, then press enter, at the end of the process konBoot fails to launch windows, as it is unable to read original MBR.
If I keep the USB stick at its place, at the end of the process, instead of launching windows, I see the UnetBootin menu again…
So ?
oops sorry a grammatical mistake in my previous comment.

Firdaus, Kon-Boot works on Windows 7.
Mazani, I don’t think you can use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool to burn an ISO to a USB. You can only create a DOS startup disk on USB with it.
4 more info. mybe i thing u can use this tool ‘Hp Usb Disk Storage Format Tool ‘also
Does this works on Windows 7 32Bit. I’ve forgotten my password once on Windows 7. Thx in advance.
