Description Bill Gray 2014-11-06 04:37:44 UTC
Tried to use liveusb-creator on f20 to make bootable USB from an f21 BETA ISO.  It would not boot, instead claiming that there was no OS to find.  Attempted multiple times.  No errors when creating / writing USB image.  Would not boot the system.

unetbootin worked first time and USB booted the live BETA f21 image on the first try.

Comment 1 Bill Gray 2014-11-20 00:14:45 UTC
FWIW, Liveusb-creator on F21 BETA overwrote the unetbootin contents with F21 BETA-4.iso contents to successfully create a bootable USB drive from which F21 installs can be done.

Comment 2 Bill Gray 2014-11-21 13:29:36 UTC
Also on F21, I tried to wipe out the USB stick with dd, followed by using fdisk to make a new partition table and mkfs to make a new filesystem.  Generated Bug 1166650 - [abrt] liveusb-creator: connection.py:651:call_blocking:DBusException when resetting the MBR, but after removing and reinserting the USB stick liveusb creator successfully created a boot / install stick that successfully installed F21.
