unscene Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I want to put the install DVD of iatkos on a USB Flash Drive and install from that. Flash drive is large enough right now, and I already restored to the usb drive using the image. My computer is a Dell D630, so it supports booting from a USB device. I am not sure what I am missing do I have to do something to the USB drive to make it bootable? Do I have to put extra settings in the BIOS, aside from making the boot device usb device.......? Since the DVD uses MBR I tried to fdisk but I just get this error: nebula:~ user$ fdisk -e /dev/rdisk2 fdisk: could not open MBR file /usr/standalone/i386/boot0: No such file or directory Any suggestions are appreciated.

unscene Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 I've searched these forums and google with nothing to tackles this. I assume it is not possible? Well, actually I do think it is, just no one has an answer to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d94 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 just curious ~ why are you even bothering since the d630 has a dvd drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unscene Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Speed comes to mind first, but there are numerous other reasons why I would like to use this. I don't have to burn at the slowest speed on a burner to get "optimal" results. Hate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
