Installing XenServer 6.2.0 from a USB Stick

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.cfg
- mv boot/isolinux boot/syslinux
- mv syslinux.cfg syslinux.cfg.bak
Unmount the USB drive and eject it.
Boot from the USB stick.

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.
