Doesn't do much in Cinnamon 4.0. Just opens a black window.

I just had a computer handed over by a friend, with c.64GB internal SSD. I used the program from the XZM enclosed in this topic to format "W" operating system away because that OS wasn't working correctly. Indeed the Disk utility formatted the disk for GPT but refused to add a partition, saying it "didn't know" how to deal with "mmcblk" device or whatever. I'm using Porteus v5.0 MATE 64-bit. This is only for information. Sorry about bumping months-old thread.

Change drive from GPT to MBR partition table.

Comments I have in my script to install Porteus on a USB drive:

Code: Select all

## Run GParted to partition & format the USB drive with a msdos Partition table.  ##
##  Use GParted's View > Device Information to check Partition Table type.        ##
##  Use GParted's Device > Create Partition Table if Partition Table shows as GPT.##
## Or under Windows use:                                                          ##
## > diskpart          * Run Command Prompt with Admin Rights.                    ##
## > list disk                                                                    ##
## >....                                                                          ##
## > select disk 1     * Note: disk nbr is the nbr of the USB disk                ##
## > clean                                                                        ##
## > create partition primary                                                     ##
## > exit                                                                         ##

I use GParted which is included in Porteus.

I thought that reads "mbr" not "nbr"?
