Code:
Launch tempdeb.iso inside of a vmware machine. It goes thru the first 3 options, then it starts looking at the cd and says: Incorrect CD-ROM detected The CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for installation. Please insert a suitable CD to continue with the installation. I can boot and install the original ISO just fine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a file enclosed in 58 rar parts and extracted them. I was looking for a way which would enable autodelete of all rar-archives after the extraction so I don't have to clean the mess up later. I hear there is some option in command line arguments but that doesn't work with split archives. Is there a way in GUI? Some option maybe, which I could check to make all the future extractions in par with autodelete feature?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell laptop with Windows XP installed, and for various reasons (Help: I borked my WindowsXP boot when installing OpenSUSE 11.3) I can not install a GRUB boot loader to the first hard drive (hd0).
I currently have a second hard drive in this laptop with a perfectly working OpenSUSE 11.3 instance, but no way to boot into it. I remember back in ancient times, a common option with Linux distros was to create a boot floppy to boot into Linux rather than installing GRUB or LILO to MBR. Since this laptop doesn't have a floppy drive I'd like to do the same thing with a USB stick. Is there any way to install GRUB (or something similar) to a USB stick? What I am not asking here is whether I can put a full, bootable Linux instance on a USB drive - I only want a boot loader on USB that launches to the appropriate mount point on (hd1).

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a DSL flash boot. I've had a couple of attempts with no success. I have a 2GB Sandisk flash drive, which I've formatted with a single FAT32 partition using GPartEd in Fedora. I've then used UNetBootin to put DSL on the drive. Neither my desktop nor my EeePC will boot from this. In both cases the BIOS is claiming that there is "No BIOS file" on the device. The files have copied to the drive OK, and I can't see anything obviously wrong.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi have linux operating system CD. it is bootable. but i want to create a boot disk. now i can create boot disk on floppy. but i want to make CD as boot disk.
how to do that.
first i created .iso file like this mkbootdisk --iso --device myimage.iso 2.6.18-194.el5
it created iso named myimage.iso in / now how will i copy it to cd rom i am running cdrecord --scanbus
it is showing : this version is an nofficial version with DVD support. and therefore may have bugs that are not present in teh original. please send bug reports or support requests to http.... the author of cdrecord should not be bothered with problems in this version. cdrecord: invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'
cdrecord: for possible transport specifirs try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
i am inserting blank CD in the cdrom.
then i run cdrecord -v -eject speed=16 dev=ATA:1,0,0 myimage.iso
how will i come to know about dev and version information if cdrecord --scanbus is failing above.
i am having laptop. with rhel5 (2.6.18-194.el5)
I've got a system in place to PXE boot new machines and automatically configuring them via anaconda. It works great.
However, I have a few older machines with no PXE capability that I would like to use a Flash drive or CD-ROM to boot and run the same anaconda config.
I'm running into an issue finding useful documentation on how to create this CD. I've tried mkisofs but it doesn't really give any details on the boot catalog or whatever is needed to make a CD bootable.

View 4 Replies View RelatedA while ago I made the jump from Mandriva to Fedora. I am very pleased with Fedora, but some things do not seem to be as easy as with Mandriva. Maybe I just got to find my way around and am not aware there are packages that will do what I want, so I think it is a good idea to ask here..Well - I have a multi-boot system. There are a few partitions to test out different Linux versions (like specialised music distro's with low-latency kernels). As a result the MBR gets overwritten by other installs now and then.In Mandriva it was possible to create a simple boot disk without any images - just a "link" or "jump" to vmlinuz etc. on the root partition from the main Linux system. I think only the MBR part was written on the floppy. It was very easy done in the control centre by choosing fd0 in stead of hda as boot medium.
This disk whas a life saver if the MBR was overwritten by another OS intall. I just put in the floppy and boot from that floppy strait into the standard grub menu and so I was able to re-create grub (by doing the same process but pointing to hda in stead of fd0 as boot medium).
Is there a way to create the same simple boot disc under Fedora 14?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a project we are working on and wanted to know if it is possible using the ubuntu(or any linux) boot disk.
We need the disk to first wipe the hard disk in the notebook, then perform a hardware test(testing processor/hdd/ram/display) then it should reimage the machine and reboot from the HDD.
I am thinking of using grub4dos to boot(and timeout to the HDD)
and partition image to image the HDD... but i do not know any cli software for the others...
For note the disk has to be completely automated as we don't have the headcount to recheck every machine every few minutes.
I tried searching forums before posting, but it was hard to search due to the specific nature of what I want to do.
I have one hard drive with windows XP on it. Another with Ubuntu. As it stands there is no link between them. Is it possible to create a dual boot using these disks? - I do not want to reinstall any of them.
Preferably, I would like the boot choice (or booter? - not really sure what I'm talking about) to be on the newer Ubuntu drive.
It is on an old machine with 256MB Ram. So slow in fact, I'm going to change the desktop environment to Xubuntu - but that's mostly irrelevant.
As I understand it, I should make the Ubuntu drive master, XP as slave... but then what?
I have a Samsung N110 running Windows 7 and I would like to install Ubuntu Netbook remix which I downloaded from [URL] I want to install it on the netbook in lieu of Windows so am not looking for a Live CD/USB option.

I have selected the CD which contains the iso I unpacked, and it detects my USB drive (I:) which is 4Gb I had exactly the same problem at work when trying this with the .iso I downloaded so it isn't specific to this machine.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to use usb startup disk creator to create an upgradable usb disk from the ubuntu live cd? There is information available on customizing the live cd, but it would be much better to boot from a usb stick and use apt-get to keep it up-to-date. My iMac will boot from a usb stick with an mbr installed and using the plop boot manager (won't work with refit), but any changes won't be persistent. Creating a file to hold changes won't help either because synaptic doesn't recognize it; besides I need more space for the package cache than fits into my RAM. And the maximum size for the storage file is 4 GB which still uses less than the available space (8 GB) on my stick. Can I tweak the filesystem on the stick to make changes persistent and use all the disk space? It is possible to install directly onto the stick, but this means it will be recognized as an external disk, and the iMac won't boot from it. Also, such an install is terribly slow.
