Re: cloned sd card is not booting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Install liveusb-creator-3.12.0-1.fc20.noarch.rpm

and create a launch icon for it on the desktop (if you  like)
and launch it from there.
It will prompt you for the source of the ISO file
and will ask you for the destination, if there is more than
one usb drive target.

I have used it without fail !!!
