I dont get the usb to work. I am following the video, but usb is only 20mb large after i am finished making it.
And straight away when its finished, i get a message that i need to format the usb.
Any tip?
I assume you are flashing the usb from windows. It will make 2 partitions on the drive - one is a very small partition readable by windows which lets you configure the rig before booting the stick (optional), the other is a larger linux-formatted partition that windows can't read (thus the message about formatting the usb). this is expected and can be ignored, the rig should boot from it fine
That is correct sir.
I can see the 20mb disk, and another 7 gb partition.
But nothing happends when i try to boot with it. it goes straigt to windows. I have tried the tip from hive os site for troubleshooting.
1.i dowload the file
2.i unpack it with winrar, or 7zip
3. i use hdd raw copy tool , or win32diskimigar
4. i chooose the file
5. i choose the target
right after it is finished it tells me that i need to format the usb.
dont do that.
i restart the computer, check that bios is set to boot on usb. goes to windows.
i restart the computer, go to bios and try to force start from usb , nothing happends.
i have downloaded both the torrent, and the normal one, and i cant see what i am doing wrong.
my next move will be to go to the store and buy a new usb stick.
i have tried to mount the img file with windows, just to see. and then i get a error that det file i damaged. but i have dowloaded several, and they all cant be damaged ?
