*Solved* Unable to install Porteus Desktop 3.0.1 x64 XFCE
Posted: 10 Dec 2014, 13:05
First, when i tried to install Porteus Desktop 3.0.1 x64 XFCE to my hard drive i got this:
Found something at drive =F0
Found something at drive =80
Extremely broken bios detected, last attempt with drive =EF
See http://www.syslinux.zytor.com/sbm (the site was/is down so there's no help from there)
Disk error 01, AX = 423D, drive EF
So broken bios? Ok, i installed old Windows XP just to try it and XP works like a charm. But now when i'm in XP and try to click Porteus-installer-for-Windows i get this message:
Installing Porteus to D:\
Make sure D: is the right partition before proceeding.
Press any key to continue, or kill this window (x) to abort...
Unsupported media
Installation failed.
Ok, so the thing is i have only one hard disk attached to motherboard and it is C: drive and installing program suggests that i'm going to install Porteus at D:\. Is it possible to change the install programs suggestion from D: to c: ?
D: is my dvd drive and i'm running IDE disk here. ( i have two more but they are not attached.)
I've also configured dvd drive to boot at first from bios but that does not help. While booting It says something about ISOLINUX and i can not read anymore because the text vanishes so quickly.
And then there's this when i load Porteus Live: I go to boot -> and click Porteus-installer-for-Linux-com, the program says:
Verifying archive integrity... All good
Uncompressing Porteus installer
Not enough space left in . (0 kb) to decompress /mnt/sr0/boot/porteus-installer-for-Linux.com(188kb)
Press return to close this window
Found the "porteus install"-Icon.
