Hi,
This is Dave, W3DJS, the developer of HamPC. I don't think you fellows are doing anything?wrong. I think this means I need to rebuild the image instead as a bootable ISO. Please stand by while I work on this. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
Hi All
?
Exactly the same thing happened to me and after 3 attempts I tried Ether
and that appeard to work but when I booted from it on my PC all I got was Grub
screen

I
downloaded the latest version from SourceForce. In the "How to Flash a Image
text" file it stated to use Rufus.? So I found the latest version of that
and downloaded it. I have a 32gb Flash drive and did a FAT32 format, even though
it had in already done, I wanted a clean start.? I ran Rufus and started
the flash process. It went about 0.1% and bailed out. Just enough to make the
Flash Drive un readable with Win 10. Yep the computer did not see it.? I
fired up the Acer Netbook I plan on using this program in since it had XP to see
if I could find the drive and yes it did.? I did a format and it came back
at 29 GB and the the original was for sure 32 GB. Figured it did not matter. So
came back in and tried Rufus once again, but not before downloading the Ham-PC
image file one more time just in case I had a bad download, which seldom
happens.
Results the same. I just went outside to where my XP was and
re-formated the flash drive once again. Before I go any further I need some help
in understanding what I am doing wrong.? I am hoping to get the image file
onto the Acer and make it a 100% HamPC computer, but I seem to lost at this
moment.? Assuming I ever get the programed moved over from Win10 harddrive
to the Flashdrive, what do I do next?? Do I repeat this process all over
again with the Acer HD.? If I do and I have the same issue that I have with
my flashdrive it will turn my Netbook into a brick.? I am getting a bit
nervous about this.? I had zero problem with my Pi3B and flashing. Any and
all suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
