Created attachment 1086053 [details] This was the file it told me attach Description of problem: Whenever I burn a ISO onto a USB, it doesn't boot up. I wait for 5 minutes, and it drops to a command prompt Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I don't know if this should be the component, so can you also help me identify it? thank you How reproducible: Every time I try it! It works in VBox, but not on my actual hardware hardware is: Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4460S CPU @ 2.90GHz × 4 Memory: 4.0 GiGs of RAM Graphics Card: GeForce GT 705/PCIe/SSE2 Arch: x86_64 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Burn an ISO 2. Boot it Actual results: I get a command prompts Expected results: It should boot up Additional info: Here's an attachment it told me to attach
It looks like you used some 3rd party tool that doesn't know how to setup the USB properly for Fedora: /dev/sdb1: LABEL="USB Stick" UUID="43D1-E2A1" TYPE="vfat" PARTUUID="0009cb4a-01" The label is is certainly wrong there. Your best bet is to use the dd tool to write the iso directly to the USB stick (make sure you don't have anything on it you don't want to lose).
