Re: wheezy on Acer Aspire One 725

Hi,
thank you all for the hints (and great humor, Jerome), however, it 
didn't help. Btw. I've tried with dd before too, but the result is known.

What has been done so far:
- wheezy CD 64 bit image iso is downloaded, md5sum is correct
- USB is formatted to FAT32 (tried with FAT16 too - but I guess BIOS 
handles FAT32)
- dd (with bs=1M, 4M, none (defaulting to 512KB) / cat to device 
corrupts the filesystem on a device
- after image "is written on a USB device" that USB is "readable" on 
Linux, but not on Windows (and BIOS). Disk Utility on Ubuntu reports 
filesystem is not clean. Tried with GParted to fix the filesystem, 
without success.
- tried to write to the device while mounted/unmounted. Is there any 
difference if device file is stated as a target?

Can anyone create bootable USB with *wheezy* bits for yourself?

Regards,
Damjan
