Wasnt i live iso image, thought it worked on every iso that was either live or installation iso. and yes it format the usb stick.
So i tried a installlation iso, could boot it up and start to install Foresight. Never went through whole installation, as i dont have a computer i can reinstall foresight on.

Was that a LIVE iso image? When I tried it, it only worked with LIVE media and not standard install iso. Also, unetbootin and blastbits destroy data and format the device. A 200gig USB stick ends up being a 198gig waste of space. I usually just extract the isolinux components and convert them to syslinux namespace, then install syslinux on the device. I can carry multiple iso files on a single device and boot any one I choose.
