For anyone who has lost space in their USB drive, follow given steps.

1. Plug in your USB to your windows machine. Start cmd as an administrator(can do that by searching for cmd and right click on program and selecting "run as administrator").
2. Type in "diskpart", and than "list disk".
3. Now you will see at least more than 1 disk, recognise your USB among all disks(can do that by looking at the space, my USB was of 16gig so I saw 14GB, also usually its the last disk in that list).
4. Type "select disk <no.>", for eg-my USB was the 4th disk so i typed "select disk 4". MAKE SURE YOU SELECT RIGHT DISK NUMBER.
5. Type "clean" and close cmd, now you may or may not see an error regarding you USB also your USB in the current state is not usable.
6. On the "This PC/My Computer" right-click and select "Manage".
7. Now from the left panel go to "Disk Management" under "Storage".
8. There you will see black coloured disk(that's your USB), right-click on that black coloured space and select "New simple volume" now keep on clicking next until finished.

There you go your USB back to normal. Like this comment so other may notice it and fix their USB as well.

So guys this works perfectly. It's just tje video is a bit outdated.
Use kali Linux 32/64 LIVE download,
if ur Rufus is 3.0+ just dont change anything keep the select ISO file option and then use the kali iso LIVE file u downloaded.
Type in the terminal "su -" and add a password if you have one.
If you don't try to unlock the super user account by typing in the terminal "sudo passwd root" set a new pass word and then type "su -" and log in using the new pass word!
This were most of the problems I encountered.

The OzzyOne, Thank You for such a good tutorial I was having the hardest time trying to get persistence. Everyone else used a Window's partitioner or the GUI to Gparted. I have a mac and the GUI to Gparted was not showing the true partitioning of my usb drive. Since you used the command line to do the partitioning, you helped me a lot. No other video I watched used the command line. Thank You, once again.

You are the best man subscribed and liked idk what to say man love you

Can confirm December 20 2018 works. Did EXACTLY as he said and typed EXACTLY what he typed and worked perfectly. Instead of 8gig stick I used my 64 gig USB stick. Just doing the apt-get and upgrade now.

PS.. When following him, check your spelling and make sure you type it EXACTLY as him.

People suggest making partitions for var, usr, home, root, and shared swap files. It would be great to get the pros/cons of doing these partitions, and how to go about it.
Like, if I wanted to use multiple distros on a live usb, but share applications and their dependencies across distros, how would we make that happen?

[epicjatin]

Thanx alot man you're method was simple and work like a charm.... I have seen so many videos on this but nothing work.... Then i got you're video and think this my last time trying ... It works man

[pedro_danna]

If someone is having an infinite looping while booting Kali, press"E" in grub menu then replace "splash" or "quite splash" for "nouveau.modeset=0", it should work !

[austinchandler]

My boy, you've got some good games up there in the corner. Metro 👌

[easttowesttransport]

Worked like a charm way better than graphical install. Thank you Soo much

[deadyninjas]

For Rufus version 3.0+ you get the option to write in DD image mode after you click start

for people using this currently, the way you use dd mode is by using the gpt partition scheme
