But fedora should work fine, and when you do it, you don't copy your image to the partition, but to the device, so of=/dev/sdx1 is wrong, (1,2,3.... ) is a partition number. You need something like this # dd if=<fedora_iso_image> of=/dev/sdx (where X can be a,b,c,...) Be careful with this method it will overwrite device with data of size of the image ...
