Centos 7/1503 -- Getting Error setting up base repository during installation

I've created bootable USB flash drive using recommended LiveUSB Creator using CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1503-01.iso.

Now being at Installation Summary screen I'm getting Error setting up base repository. When I click on Verify at Installation Source screen I get This media is not good to install from. Rather cryptic error message...

I've also tried switch to On the network and insert http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/7/os/x86_x64 with no success.

Additional info: Installing on HP EliteBook 8540w


You have an error in the mirror URL (and extra x at x64) it should be http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/7/os/x86_64.


Do not use LiveUSB creator, it doesn't work with this release of CentOS.

I had the same problem, I recreated the USB flash drive using dd under Linux ( dd bs=4M if=CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1503-01.iso of=/dev/sd[letter of your USB drive] ), and it worked like a charm.

If you do not have access to a Linux machine, you need to report this problem to LiveUSB-Creator developers and/or CentOS developers.


when you install centos 7 on network, you may config installation source.

when you input the url under the label 'On the network:', you'll see the check box already checked that means 'This URL refers to a mirror list' , disable that.


I experienced the same problem. It is working after I switch to Win32 Disk Imager.

Please try using another USB ISO burner. It should work. There is a list of working programs for the task.
