General :: Burning Dvd From Live Boot
Mar 25, 2011
M$ 7 on my new laptop (one month out of warranty)has died. I have several iso files and several downloaded programs that I wish to put on DVDs before I do a restore. I have tried Slax, Kubuntu, and Mint from USB live boot. None of them will let me burn the files to DVDs. My largest USB stick is 4gig. K3b in Slax shows that I don't have enough temp file space, but will not let me use the hard drive for temp.
Options I am considering:
Getting a larger USB stick. Booting from CD and copying up to 4gigs at a time and moving it to my desk top. Resizing the ntfs partition to give me about 20-30gigs for installing Slackware. Buying an external hard drive and copy them to it. (starting to really like this one) Forgetting it and restore and spend many hours downloading them again. (Really would rather not) I can do any of these options, but want to see if there is an option I haven't considered.

I'm able to access my USB-drive (from which I'm running MEPIS right now) and my C-drive which has all my Windowsy stuff on it.I tried putting the (bad burn of a) CD-R into the drive and it was also recognized, but when I put a blank DVD-RW into the drive, nothing happens, and when I try to create a device-link, it tells me that medium does not exist

I have tried burning a number of ISO's of 101.10 and 11.04 to DVD and intalling them on 2 of my desktop machines. I eventually see: ('initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system' The thought just occurred to me as I type this, perhaps I can only install from a CD and not a DVD?

I have just tried to load Ubuntu 11.04 live CD (DVD) onto an IBM M52/MMC/8214. I bought the M52 to replace an older PC, which loaded the DVD without problem, so there is no problem with the DVD. The M52 works fine with Windows. Following is what happens when I try to load the DVD:
...finds Mac address
...finds GUID
...sits on DHCP.../ for a couple of minutes
then displays
...PXE-E53: No boot filename received
followed by
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent
1962: No operating system found.
It then boots into Windows. I'm not entirely new to Linux, having played with Ubuntu for a while, but have never had a problem. Now, I'm stuck!

Trying to boot backtack 4 and I am running into issues. There are a few different options to boot from. And this happens with whichever option I choose.
Hda: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 {driveready seekcomplete error}
Hda: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x40 {lastfailedsense=0x40 }
Hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0
Other live distros work. I have tried 2 different isos and 4 different dvds. And the live boot works when I try it in virtualbox. Per a google search I turned plug and play os on and off in the bios. Haven't tried much else.

I'm having trouble getting my computer to boot from two different linux live cds, and I'm looking for ideas. Last night, I downloaded both Damn Small and Puppy linux to my emac and burned disk images of both. When I tried to boot my Dell Inspiron 8100 with them, they both appeared to work at first, but then both stopped booting part way through the process. I've run this computer on an earlier live cd version of Puppy without any problems before, and the fact that neither disk works leads me to believe I did something wrong when burning them.
I downloaded the iso files for both Puppy and Damn Small and burned these as images each to their own disk. This all I remember doing before, and I like I said, it worked in the past. I'll post more details later in the day--like where the boot process actually stops and what versions of each system I downloaded, but if this rings any bells for anyone.

I have used freespire and PCLinux these are both full Linux versions but they both take a good while to a) install and b) run from the Live CD, can anyone recommend a stripped down version of Linux that is quick to boot from a live CD etc but still has a good amount of featues, for testing purposes?

I installed a copy of Fedora 13 onto my HDD yesterday and everything went fine until, for some reason, it stopped working. (Got stuck at the white bar while booting up). Well, I wasn't sure what the problem was so I decided to run the live CD again (which *is* a good CD, unless it somehow managed to destroy itself since yesterday) and I get "Could not mount root filesystem," sleeping forever. Hm.I haven't changed any of the hardware, and all the connections seem to still be good, so, I dunno... Any ideas on what could be the problem? Thanks in advance for any input.:UPDATE:Now my computer simply displays a list of repeating errors, each one like:Quote:
ata1.00: failed commnad: read DMA
(...)
ata1.00: [ABRT]

[URL] I'm currently running simplyMEPIS 8.0.15 (rel 32). It's booting automatically off a USB. The way I have it configured right now, it just loads right up without a root menu or boot-options, just basically going straight to "hey, u ROOT or DEMO?" I'm not sure if there's a way to get back to the bash and load directly to RAM at this point.
In another thread I was looking into burning backups from k3b as I run live because my DVD-player isn't behaving right now under windows... 'still working on that I want to get a backup done before I do a hard install. It's my goal to get either Kismet, wireshark, or Airsnort/crack/peek running on this machine so I can start gathering packets and doing analysis. Is that a way that (atleast for the timebeing until I can work out backups) that I can install any of these programs directly to the USB (by editing the ISO somehow?), so that they'll be available when I liveboot?

I am having a laptop with Vista installed on it. I have an Ubuntu live CD (karmic) which is refusing to boot on this machine. I get an error : "Error reading boot CD" and a reboot button. I have tried this cd on other machines and it works fine. I tried live CD of kubuntu also but the same error message appears. What could be the reason?
Machine spec: 2GB RAM, Intel core 2 duo processor.

I have an older compaq laptop (P4). I just wanted to be able to boot a live cd. The trouble is the only live cd I can get to boot is SUSE 9.2 and it ends up having a scripting error. It is an old disk so it is probably shot.
I have tried to get fedora 14 to boot, but it will not. A newer computer I have will boot from the FC14.
why I cannot get the live CD's to boot?

I tried to use Grub to boot the Fedora 14 Live CD from its ISO image (SHA256 verified) on the hard drive. I put Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso in the root directory of the FAT32 partition D: (sda5) then extracted isolinux from this ISO, and put it on D: I followed the isolinux.cfg file, and wrote a menu.lst as follows:
title Fedora 14 Live CD
root (hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,4)/isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet rhgb
initrd (hd0,4)/isolinux/initrd0.img
However Grub told me: No root device found. Boot has failed. Sleeping forever. Here's the contents of isolinux.cfg:

I want to dual boot Fedora 11 and Windows Vista, and the last time I tried I deleted my Windows Vista (big no no). So, I've made a partition of about 30GB, and I'm trying to go through the installation (from the live CD), but I don't know quite what to do? If I select Shrink existing disk, it doesn't let me do it for any amount that I put in, by the way.

I have a Windows laptop that isn't booting up anymore for some reason Safe Mode doesn't even work. Looking at what is printed out when it hangs, I did a search on google and it is some sort of HP laptop problem. Apparently the hard drive should still be OK, if only I can access it somehow. I was thinking maybe I could use one of those live Linux CDs to boot up. But I'm not too familiar with those. Would they be able to detect the laptop's DVD burner, and allow me to burn files off the NTFS partition to a blank DVD? I want to get my data off before I hand the laptop over to the IT department - who knows what they will do to it. So exactly which live Linux CD flavor should I use (my other working computer only has a CD burner)? And then would it be easy to burn a DVD after booting up the live Linux CD?

Its basically an old SATA Hard Drive with a Windows XP partition I was trying to sell.When my computer does the BIOS checks, it doesn't pass the SMART test (but I can boot it anyway), although I can't boot Linux in any way with this Hard Disk connected (I even tried Live CD distros, like Parted Magic).I can boot the XP partition from inside the disk, although I guess its pretty close to not being able to. Is there any way to "fix" this Hard Drive?

Is it possible to burn a installed system onto a dvd because of the size and run that from the cd-rom, I don`t mean running from a live cd. Using Ubuntu 9.10 For example I have tried running a installed system on a memory stick which works fine, can that be achieved from a cd or dvd.
