Hello IG-88,
I really appreciate the update and link, unfortunately using Win32DiskManager still doesn't create a proper boot disk. I followed the instructions above (link) and redownloaded everything just to be in sync with the instructions. Let me give you all the steps I'm taking.
Everything is being run as Admin
- insert USB
- use diskpart for creating partition and formatting. Steps below:
- diskpart, select USB stick (drive 2), clean, create partition primary, select partition 1, format fs=ntfs quick
- use mount, edit the cfg
- use Win32DiskImager 1.0 and selecting "Read Only Allocated Partitions"
- take out USB and plug it into my system
- all I get is a blinking underscore (USB is the first disk for boot up).
The system I'm using to run it on is the same system I've been running for years along with 5.1 DSM.
Also I'm able to use Win32DiskImager to create a boot disk from Linux Mint ISO with no problems.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
