Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.Īll these warnings are safe to ignore, and your drive should be able to boot without any problems. Try making a fresh table, and using Parted's rescue feature to recover partitions. Is this a GPT partition table? Both the primary and backup GPT tables are corrupt. Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table. Perhaps it was corrupted - possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables. However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should. dev/xxx contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table. 2) downloaded the iso and converted it to img: hdiutil convert debian-8.4.0-i386-DVD-1.iso -format UDRW -o debian-8.4.0-i386-DVD-1.img. My steps were: 1)erase usb drive using disk utils and create FAT partition (i tried also exFAT and OSX Extended). And want to try another Linux Distro via USB.Ubuntu images (and potentially some other related GNU/Linux distributions) have a peculiar format that allows the image to boot without any further modification from both CDs and USB drives.Ī consequence of this enhancement is that some programs, like parted get confused about the drive's format and partition table, printing warnings such as: Any advice how can I debug why my usb did not becamse Debian bootable after those procedures. And it just works! NOTE: if you has already created an USB installed via USBImager. This is a tiny tool with less than 200 KB package size.
USBImager is a free and open-source tool that works on Windows XP +, Mac OS 10.13 +, Arch, Manjaro, other Linux, and even Raspberry Pi OS. Option 2: Create bootable USB from Windows, Mac OS, or other Linux. You’ll see the ‘Installation Complete’ dialog.Īfter that, you can boot the USB stick and start installing Linux Mint. Click ‘Yes’ and it becomes the installing dialog with process bar.ĥ. And leave all other free space unallocated.Ĥ. Same to USBImager in Option 2: It creates two partitions in the USB stick: one for Linux Mint system files (about 2 GB) and anther for boot-loader (about 4 MB). A confirm dialog will pop-up prompts you that ‘All data in the USB drive be lost’. Finally click on “Make Startup Disk” to start the process.ģ.
Click on “Other …” button and choose the Linux Mint ISO image. Firstly search for and open USB Creator GTK from system app launcher.Ģ.
For all other Linux, Windows, and Mac OS, just go option 2.ġ. If you have a PC or laptop running with Ubuntu, then this option is for you as it has an built-in USB creator app. Option 1: Create USB installer from an Ubuntu machine. So I choose USB-creator-GTK and USBImager among all the tools I've tested.
NOTE there are quite a few USB creating tools in the web! However, some of them may sometimes not work or not perfect (e.g., Ventoy does not install in my case).
Linux Mint is a popular community-driven Linux distribution based on Ubuntu.
Want to install Linux Mint using an USB drive? Well, here’s the step by step beginner’s guide shows you how to create the bootable USB installer from other Linux, Windows, or Mac OS.
