Re: Debian 7 USB Drive Won't Work

I am hesitant to post to this list because perusing some of the entries
show that the answers are technical way over my head, but here we go.

I have made a bootable USB stick(32G) with Debian 7 i386 using my Ubuntu
10.04 system on my laptop which has an Intel chip.   It appeared to work OK.

However, when I try to boot from it, I get some errors.

First error is "isolinux.bin missing or corrupt".  That file is in the
isolinux folder on the USB drive.

Then comes the copyright notice followed by the patent notice.

Next it discovers the ethernet controller.
  After that it thinks for a while and says "no boot filename received" then

PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM

And waits for me to CTRL-ALT-DEL.

I have created 6 different USB drives from 6 different versions of linux
and this is the firsst one that didn't work.

Try on a Terminal

dd if=aa.iso of=/dev/sd(x) bs=1M

aa.iso -> The .iso you want to create a USB drive.
/dev/sd(x): The pendrive. It maybe /dev/sdb but you MUST to confirm that. Write on a terminal 

lsblk

(If it doesn't work, write : )

mount
And see where is the USB. Don't write the number (f.e, not /dev/sdb1) because, if you wrote the number, it won't work.
