Problem with DD & Startup disk creator
I want to create a bootable USB drive for Chromium OS. I downloaded this image (direct link) and I want to put it on my 4 Gb
USB. The IMG
file is 2.6 Gb
and my USB is 4 Gb
, so there is space for the image.
When I run DD
(dd if=ChromeOS.img of=/media/felixinx/0392-8145 bs=4M
), I get dd: impossible d'ouvrir «/media/felixinx/0392-8145»: est un dossier
as error (/media/felixinx/0392-8145 is a folder).
With Startup Disk Creator, I get an error : Impossible d'écrire l'image disque (/home/felixinx/Téléchargements/ChromeOS.img) sur le périphérique (/dev/sdb1).
(Impossible to write image on the disk).
With sudo usb-creator-gtk
, I get the same error, with a Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
message on command line. (Yay! First error message in english!).
I don't know why is don't work.
Thanks
Your device is mounted. Your OS is using it, so it will not work correctly.
Also, you need to dd to a "/dev/xda" device, and not a mount point.
You will need to run:
sudo umount /media/felixinx/0392-8145
Then, run
blkid
to find out the device, maybe it will be /dev/sdb
, so run:
sudo dd if=ChromeOS.img of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
Should work, if not, post the result. If you cannot unmount, just reboot, and don't open the file manager.
