Thanks for the tutorial, worked, but also infected my pc with a virus/pup that ruined my google chrome and unwanted permission to automatically change my proxy settings.
Look up the overclock.guru message for the info, its a virus that turns on your proxy settings, automatically detects and uses an external(own) dangerous script.
For example, when looking up images through google, you get “extended search”, for making own searchmachines and so on.
It re locates to a own ip adres.
this happend after installing the mabalive and the uiso.

I think should be USB-HDD+ (as in the picture) instead of USB-HDD, in the written explanation. I tried USB-HDD the first time, it took me hours to write it, opposed to the few minutes it takes with USB-HDD+.
