[solved] USB stick must be fat16 for USB install to work?

On the USB install instructions page it mentions in the deprecated section that the disk needs to be fat16.  Is this still true or will it now work with fat32?

Apparently if you use flashnul in windows to copy the image over it converts the disk to fat16 anyways as it's a preformatted image.

  • [SOLVED] usb install of arch can't find internal hard disks

    I installed arch to a 4gb usb flash drive and it works great.  Keeping it bare bones for now without a GUI to force myself to learn more about linux and how it works.  However, I would like to mount and access the internal hard drives of the "host" computer that i'm booting the usb on, and I can't seem to find them.
    ls /dev/disk/by-anything only shows the usb device that arch is installed to and udev and something else I can't remember right now.  Same results when I enter df -h.
    I know that this is possible somehow, because I also have a live usb of Ubuntu 10.10 on another usb stick that can access the internal disks.  However, my ubuntu stick also has a gui, Hal, etc and is a persistent live-disk-to-usb rather than an actual usb stick installation.  Does that affect things?
    I apologize if this is already covered somewhere.  I am a super n00b with arch and I did my best to search both google and the forums.
    Thank you in advance, and I look forward to being a part of the arch community!

    i've looked through the kernel log, and realize that i've never looked at one before and don't really know what i'm looking for.  if i haven't lost your interest yet, here's a pastebin of a recent boot... the PNY is the usb stick that arch is installed to.  http://pastebin.com/D7nzkaaq

If it's not showing up in the list, check the cables/connections, if it still doesn't show up... panic
    i will do this next.  i'm pretty sure that the cables are connected properly, seeing that i can boot the computers in question without the usb stick and have full access to available drives.
    thank you everyone for all your responses so far!
    EDIT:  alright, i looked at /proc/partitions and this is what it says:
    major minor  #blocks  name
       8        0    3915776 sda
       8        1    3915744 sda1
       3        0   39070080 hda
       3        1    4883728 hda1
       3        2          1 hda2
       3        5     473886 hda5
       3        6   33350877 hda6
    so it looks like my internal drive is recognized somehow.  my new question would be, what exactly is the difference between /proc/partitions and /dev/disk/ ??  and how do i find out more identifying/location information about hda to mount it into an accessible location in my file system?

    Whenever I plug in a usb-device, it always say:

  • USB install for 10.8.3 has 10.7

    Very strange I am trying to install 10.3.8 on a new disk installed on my computer.  To do this I created a USB install disk by taking the InstallESD.dmg disk image out of the Mountain Lion Installer Package and mounting it on a USB stick.  When I try and do an install from the stick it says it is installing 10.7.  Why 10.7?  Does 10.7 have to be installed and then one must do updates?
    Also rather than a clean install it only offers me a choice of installing with a timecapsule or reinstalling.
    Would appreciate any info as to why this is happening.
    I have a Mac with a i7 processor build 8.1
    Mike

    Assuming that you meant 10.8.3 in lieu of 10.3.8, the correct installer package for 10.8.3 should be version 1.3.22. Check the info for yours:
    Does 10.7 have to be installed and then one must do updates?
    No

  • IMac won't boot from Windows USB install stick

    I have a iMac 7.1, the first gen Intel iMac, now running Moutain Lion 10.8.2. I installed Windows 7 via bootcamp two years ago via a flash disk, and the installation was smooth and easy. Now I want to try some Windows 8. I used the Windows USB install tool to clone the install disk into a flash drive and tested the flash drive on a windows computer first. It was working properly. But my iMac just couldn't boot from the flash disk when I pressed the option button during start-up. There's no icon for the flash disk. Then I clone the old Windows 7 install ISO into the flash disk, it wouldn't show in the boot options either! Why? Is it because of some firmware update? Why the same Windows 7 install image I used two years a ago can't boot now for the same iMac? Please help. Thanks!
    Jeff

    I believe mende1's response is slightly incorrect. On older Mac computers that came with an internal DVD drive the only way to install Windows on those Mac's is from that internal DVD drive. Even if you connect an external DVD drive OS X and or the Mac computer Firmware will not allow the Win install DVD to boot from that external DVD drive. It must be done from the internal DVD drive. So if yours has failed then you would need to have it replaced before you can install Windows on your Mac.
    I know this from personally trying to install Windows from an external DVD drive even when there is an internal DVD still in the system. My late 2011 MBP would not load the Win install from the external DVD drive but would from the internal DVD drive.

    I have downloaded latest I-tunes version 10 and am experiencing problem with the Apple mobile device USB driver not working correctly.
    I have tried deleting all apple software and re-installing again - without success!
    I am trying to Sync primarily an I-pad2  but also an older Ipod classic
    I am operating on XP Pro with SP3.
    Can anyone help please?

    Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
    Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
    Long version:
    Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
    1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
    2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
    You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
    At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

  • A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

    A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?  Obviously the device is operational.  Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn?  If so, is it reparable?

    It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
    That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

  • [solved] USB storage devices problem

    Hello everyone. I have MSI Wind U270 and recently I've moved from Ubuntu 11.04 to Arch. I really like Arch so far but I have one quite big problem and I can't find any solution, so I hope someone here could help me.
    After I'd installed Arch, I tried to copy some file from/to USB flash drive. After just few seconds, transfer failed with information about I/O errors and USB flash drive disappeared along with any other USB drives connected at the same time but logitech usb mouse and keyboard continue to work.
    My first thought was that it's simply broken USB drive, but same thing was happening also when I tried to move some files from/to any other USB storage device that I have.
    Here is sample dmesg output after I connect device:

    Next I thought – computer is broken. But it simply couldn't be true because in Ubuntu it's working.
    I wanted to test if USB transfer is working in other distros, so I downloaded few and tried:
    Ubuntu 11.04 – everything is working
    Ubuntu 11.10 – it's not working, exactly same errors as in Arch
    Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha 2 – it's not working
    Mint 11 – it's working
    Mint 12 – it's not working
    So one thing in common that I can think of is fact that USB transfer is working in distros using kernel <3.0 and is broken in those using kernel >=3.0.
    In dmesg output I can see ehci_hcd errors. When I remove this module before moving files, than everything is working fine apart from very slow transfer but it's obvious.
    I really hope that someone will be able to help with my problem.  I don't know if it's some bug or it's just some configuration error.
    EDIT: problems were caused by rts5139 module (card reader). Blacklisting that module solved all the problems.

  • Extended router's network for Airport extreme. Works well with MacbookPro. I can print with notebook with XP SP3 and, I can see the USB-harddisc in the Airport service program but, I cannot use it. I have set filesharing etc. What do I do wrong?

    I connected the Airport Extreme wireless to the existing network of my router. At the Airport there is connected via USB a Printer and three hard discs. All works well on my MacBook Pro - I can print and use the hard discs. On my notebook and my desktop, both with XP-SP3 I can use the printer only. In the Airport service program - manual set up - hard discs I can see the drives with the correct names but I cannot work with it. I don't find neithe the Airport Extreme nor the drives in the Windows Explorer. Of course I've set 'filesharing' etc. What do I do wrong? Where is the mistake in the set up?

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • USB Mic not working in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac

    So I've been editing in Premiere Pro CS6 on a mac for 6 months now.  I have to do a temp VO for a project and I thought I'd try the Narration feature in the mixer.  For some reason my USB mic doesn't show up in the Audio Hardware so I can't pick it.  The same mic shows up in the Mac Audio Settings and even shows up in Audition.  I've been having to use Audition but was curious to see if anyone out there has gotten a USB mic to work in Premiere Pro on a Mac.  Would be a really cool feature if it worked.

    Some USB mics work fine, but many do not. It can depend on the exact mic, or might require a different ASIO driver (maybe something like ASIO4All?), or different ASIO setting, to work.
    Good luck,

  • Making a USB install disc for macbook air using a windows PC!

    Ok i have an iMac and a macbook air, so this guide here seems good for me right?
    How to Create a Mac Snow Leopard USB Installer Disk
    The problem I've got is that my iMac superdrive is skewed, it just won't read anything (disc is new etc but the drive won't work with pretty much ANY disc at all, and i mean any, just spits them out after a few seconds of trying to read it).
    Anyways, can this process as described in the URL above be done using a windows based pc? i also have one as a media centre in my room and it has a working dvd drive..... if so what do i need to do? this is driving me insane! i cannot afford an external superdrive or any other external drives at the moment nor is the iMac in warranty and nor do i have the ability to take it anywhere.

    Its a long one to explain but the superdrive in the imac works when it wants, and fortuantly last time it worked with the OSX disc that came with the imac! amazing, i made the usb installer and then when booted with macbook air it stated it cannot be installed. I did a little digging and discovered that it was because the imac came with one of those grey OEM discs and are not able to transpose to another machine at all, this is officially from apple and what others have used, hence my need to then get a full snow leopord disc.
    The disc however unlike the other OSX grey one will not read at all
    also what i mean is can i use the drive from the windows machine to make the usb install disc not using windows itself....?

  • Cannot get USB port to work after re-installing of SP2 on Satellite Pro L20

    After re-installing XP Home SP2 and downloading all the updates & Drivers from here I cannot get my USB port to work properly, if I have more than one peripheral plugged in it says "Bandwidth Exceeded".
    I have a Behringer BCD2000 which is a souncard/midi controler for DJ mixing, it worked fine before i reinstalled windows, now it clicks and pops when playing tunes, also the ASIO doesn't work when I run Traktor (Dj software) and the program freezes. Any other external sound card wont work either. I've been all through the device manager no conflicts apart from an ! over Serial under hidden devices.
    I'm lost, is my only option buying a PCMCIA sound card, it worked fine before so surely there is a software solution to this?
    If anyone can help I'd be most appreciative.

    Hello
    Try to disable USB Error Detection:
    1. Right-click My Computer and then click Properties.
    2. Select Device Manager to view the Device Manager
    3. Locate and click the Universal Serial Bus Controller entry.
    4. Double-click Universal Host Controller and then click the Advanced tab of the Universal Host Controller Properties.
    5. Put a checkmark in the box for Disable USB Error Detection. Click OK.
    6. Restart the computer to see if "Bandwidth Exceeded" message occurs again
    Did you use recovery media to reinstall WXP? When someone write it worked before and now not it is really not easy to say why this happen. Try to configure notebook as before and maybe it will work again. Behringer BCD2000 is not known to me and I dont know how it works and which software must be preinstalled there.
    Can you use different USB devices like external HDD, USB mouse, USB memory stick or printer?

  • Ipod not recognized on usb 2.0, works on usb 1

    Hi, I have a Power PC g4 runing mac os 10.4.11
    I also bought 2 ipod nanos 4gb. these are the 6th
    and 7th ipods in the house. At first I was using
    a usb 1 port to transfer my stuff and everything
    worked well. I then decided to add a Iogear usb
    2.0 pci card in the computer. At first everything
    was working really well it was really fast. At some
    point I realized that sometimes the ipod would not
    mount on the computer. I would work a bit later.
    Now it just never mounts on usb 2. usb 1 works fine,
    plugging my camera on the usb 2.0 ports also work fine.
    plugging the ipod in a macbook works, but it will not
    mount on my power Pc (where my music is). I'm sure the
    usb 2 card works as it recognize both my camera and my
    ipod with video 30gb. I'm not sure if it worked at all since I
    upgraded the system from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11
    Has anyone heard of a problem with 10.4.11 compatibility?
    I work for an apple reseller and heard the new nano has some
    problems with some poor quality recharge kits that we sell. I
    don't know if this could be linked.
    Any comments or experiences could help.
    thanks in advance

    I can't offer any help, but I can say that I am having a similar issue with an iogear PCI USB 2.0 card in a G4 867. Card works for other USB items, but doesn't want to work with the nano. I use the same model of card in a G5 and it works until the Mac goes to sleep, then it no longer recognizes the card or anything connected to it until the mac is restarted. Solved that by not allowing it to sleep (in energy saver preferences). I thought that would work for the G4 too, but no luck. The cards worked "normally" prior to updating to Leopard, so I am hoping a future update sorts this out.
