Newest of Newb questions--won't boot from USB

  • I used unetbooti to put the iso on my usb drive, booted from usb drive in the bios, and...nothing. It says "No bootable drive'.


    I read a ton of threads and all the faqs, but all the errors seem to at least have gotten past that step.


    Any advice for what I might be doing wrong?


    Thanks.

    I would either use:


    dd if=openmediavault_0.4_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4096


    or download win32diskimager

  • Okay, that seems to have computer recognizing the USB drive...


    But now it's stuck on "ISOLINUX 4.02 DEBIAN-20101014 EHDD Copywright (c) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al"


    Shouldn't it be doing something?

    Disable the serial port in the bios.

  • Partitioning discs/selecting disc to partition:


    It's showing two, the USB drive and the hard drive onto which I want to install OMV.


    The hard drive is the one I want to partition, right? (I've disconnected the eventual RAID storage drives.)


    I swear I read the tutorial and the wiki...it was just over my head.

    Yes, you want the hard drive. Glad to hear it is working.

  • I chose the HD, figuring the worst case was that I'd have to re-do something later.


    It works! WOOT!


    So now I really go newb. :)


    And off to figure out how to set up the RAID array.


    This is really cool.
