Unable to make porteus boot from flash drive [SOLVED]
Posted: 07 Feb 2012, 23:31
I'm new to Linux and porteus looked like an easy way to get started.
However, I seem to be unable to correctly install it.
I didn't find a solution in the FAQ, installation manual or the forum. So I'm asking it here.
I'm trying to install porteus 32-bit to my flashdrive in Windows XP.
First I downloaded the Iso and extracted it with WinRar.
Then I started the win_start_here in the boot section.
However, when the cmd.exe windows opens I get a message that there is no disk. (Exception processing message c0000013 parameters 75b0bf9c 4 75b0bf9c 75b0bf9c)
I get the option to cancel, again or continue, whichever I choose, I get the same error message.
After a few times of clicking it finally works and in the end says it should be working.
But when I try to boot from the flash drive, it can't be found in the BIOS.
The strange thing is that I could choose the same flash drive in BIOS before I used the win_start_here.
Changing the flash drive doesn't help because the same error message is shown.
I have no idea about what is going wrong.
If more information is needed, let me know.
Thanks in advance.
