Mageia + USB = Hell?
Posted: Oct 19th, '11, 22:10
I can't get Mageia to work my USB no matter what.
I tried UNetBootin, then read it doesn't work.
I tried Mandriva Seed, doesn't work (I have Windows 7)
Finally, I tried dd for windows... doesn't work.
As a last resort, I extracted straight from ISO to the usb, even though i knew it wouldn't work. I'm trying Fedora Live USB Creator right now.
Fedora Live USB Creator didn't work either :\
I have NO CD-RWs to use, so that's outta the question.
What's my choices?
DD for Windows commands I used (I renamed the downloaded iso to mageia.iso):
