I have some command, where I have to put the location of my .iso file, but afterwards there's dev/sdx. I think I have to put the USB there? Idk what to do exactly tbh.

$ sudo cp iso-file.iso /dev/sdx

You should be able to mount it, did you encrypt it with bitlocker or something?

i bet you mounted wrong partition

find the right one, look for the biggest size, should be something like /dev/sdb2

fdisk -l


then mount -v /dev/sdb2 /mountdir

No encryption, not unmounted. When I rightclick the hdd it shows the option to unmount. Does it play a role that my live stick is lubuntu and not mate like on the hdd? I did it via sudo now. Weird. Thanks for your help guys.

no, what flavor of linux you use doesn't matter assuming it's a normal ext4 partitioned drive

find correct device via fdisk


mount via command line, if already mounted, then unmount

see if you can explore the drive

You need to use dd you retard. dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdx.
