Why (depending on the linux distro and the usb creator i use) does my usb shows up in different sections of my bios boot options -> (when i press F12).Īlso, i have been testing the usb on my sisters windows 7 laptop alongside my desktop and found that some of the linux distros would boot up further than on my desktop.Īny help with this problem or ideas on a lightweight linux to use would be appreciated! I tried all the options but was given the error message "unable to find a medium containing a live file system." Just recently i tried ubuntu 12.4 desktop i386 and was able to get to the purple ubuntu menu with options: (install, try without installing and etc). Next i tried to boot mint linux and puppy linux after Cent OS but i got an error message ("boot error") when trying to boot the usb in bios. I ran the error checking tool for the usb volume, but there was no error so i proceeded. I decided to try another linux and i tried to do a manual format of the drive by erasing all the files.and i think i may have removed some important hidden folders from the usb itself. My first attempt was cent os live cd i was able to get it to boot, but with no persistance. I have been trying to download a working linux distro with persistance on my usb, so that i can do my code assignments and compile them with linux. My flash drive is an 8gb PNY (i think usb 2.0). I have been using universal usb installer, linux live usb creator, and unetbootin. Hello, i am new to this forum and very new to linux and a newbie to using a usb as a bootable device.
