Booting From USB Stick Failed
Hi,
I want to install Slackware 14.2 on a new laptop w/o CDROM. Then I was following the method described in ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...README_USB.TXT to boot from USB stick. I 'dd' the USB image file into my USB stick and let the BIOS boot from the USB. I saw the boot screen really entered the Linux boot procedure, I can see 'boot:' and 'Loading xxx' printed on my screen, but very soon the screen went black and the laptop continued to boot my Windows installed in the first partition. What's the problem it met? How do I archive to boot from USB stick? Thanks woody |
have you tried also the second method described in that document?
Code:
Create a bootable USB stick non-destructively |
another option to create the usb is rufus in windows https://rufus.ie/en_IE.html

Maybe you are messing two different things. Boot from usb installed system - there is such procedure to create boot-stick - just external boot system device. Boot loader is installed on pendrive Say you can do this if you don't want to overwrite MBR or there is no other possibility to boot. Other thing is install system from pendrive. Of course you will still be able to boot installed system with help of this installation pendrive by providing during boot proces correct path to root device. From your descritpion looks like pendrive is broken or dd procedure failed - image was written with errors. Reformat pendrive under Wn to look for possible errors. This is convenient way to dd'ed iso image
Code:
$ dd if=Slackware_14.2.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M |
