Is it possible to use a CD boot image (the bin file) as a bootsector for a partition of an UFD drive?
Can I use dd for this task?

What are you actually trying to do? What is your end goal? There are plenty of ways to make a bootable flash drive.

I just want to use some boot image that I have to create a different disk, not a replica of the ISO. The first time I could use your GUI applets to transfer the ISO on the UFD and then change/delete the files at my wish. But thereafter, if I need to test another boot image, I need to backup UFD, format it, transfer ISO, delete ISO files and restore backup. Very time consuming. This is why I need a method to transfer only bootsector images. – antonio – 2013-07-01T12:16:34.870
