Download the XenServer 6.2.0 ISO image
-
Format a USB stick using FAT32.
-
Use unetbootin to install the ISO to the USB stick. Use the “DiskImage” option instead of the “Distribution” one, and point it right to the ISO file.
-
Now we need to fix up some boot stuff (All paths are relative to the root of the USB drive)
mv boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg boot/isolinux/syslinux.cfgmv boot/isolinux boot/syslinuxmv syslinux.cfg syslinux.cfg.bak
-
Unmount the USB drive and eject it.
-
Boot from the USB stick.

Create XenServer USB Install
On 6.5 I get an error about missing config
Just use Rufus:
No need to monkey with SYSLINUX.
Thanks VinceVal!
With Rufus it worked. But with the other approach it didn't even get to the bootloader.
PERFECT!!! very very thanks.
And I also confirm that this strategy works with XenServer version 7.0.0.
Etcher (https://etcher.io) Is great and did the trick for me with a troublesome server.
with YUMI I've tried to create a multiboot usb key, but xenserver 7 doesn't install, I've error:
Failed to load COM32 file mboot.c32
With YUMI 2.0.4.6, unlisted ISO (GRUP Partition 4) works.
XenServer 7.0.0
already reinstalling server using rufus v2.18.1213 in my KVM windows 7 machine.
the others alternatives does not work in my case.

Thanks, this helped me create bootdisk for XenServer 7.2

I confirm that this strategy also works with XenServer version 6.5.0. Drive boots and installer works as expected.
