Then, from Device menu choose Create partition table.
Launch GParted, select the correct drive and unmount it if necessary. UEFI can read MBR FAT32 contents and boot from it. The discussion here is about choosing the right partition table. I did that one about two years ago, using flash-knoppix from a live session, which I was running from DVD.This is done as usual using GParted. I have a flash drive that has KNOPPIX 7.7.1 on it. I'm gonna pass on trying Tuxboot and Unetbootin (I've gone with Unetbootin in the past, with mixed results).
USING GPARTED LIVE USB TO MAKE WINDOWS BOOTABLE ZIP FILE
The GParted Live documentation ( ) mentions four approaches - Tuxboot, "Manual" (using a zip file and makeboot.sh), Unetbootin, and "Manual - Overwrite" (using an iso file and dd). I prefer to stay with the command line approach as much as possible. I'm assuming that I would not be able to use MX-17 Live USB Creator to put GParted Live on a flash drive. It's been a very reliable approach, except in this case, I can't get the MX-17 and GParted Live flash drives to boot these two newer notebooks. My approach has been to use dd to clear the flash drive, then GParted to create the partition table and to do the partitioning, then dd to write the iso to the flash drive, all from an installed system.
I'm guessing that this would be a good way to go. So for MX I could try the MX-17 Live USB Creator, on an older notebook, from a live session.
USING GPARTED LIVE USB TO MAKE WINDOWS BOOTABLE MAC
One thing, though, kinda unrelated, regarding something I mentioned earlier, about the flash drive with Kubuntu 18.04 on it: Why does parted show that one as having a mac partition table? I certainly didn't specify "mac" when I created that partition table! Does anyone here know anything about this? I haven't had any problems booting either of these two notebooks with that flash drive, and earlier I installed Kubuntu 18.04 on one of the notebooks, using that flash drive (later, I wiped Kubuntu and put that distro on an older notebook, for reasons that have nothing to do with this discussion). And there's a lot of incorrect info out there on the web. Also, various distros are doing things differently. It's becoming quite clear that what works on one computer won't necessarily work on another computer, even if they seem to be quite similar. It's just that my installed systems (Debian Stretch on one notebook and Arch on the other) are booting fine, and I don't want to mess around with the Setup Utility on either of these two notebooks just to try to boot the MX-17 and GParted Live flash drives, especially since I don't really need either distro at this point, and especially after reading what was written at the page linked above. Mobo: HP model: 82F6 v: 40.42 serial: UEFI: Insyde v: F.25įinally, I have some time to take a look at all this again, but I'm very close to giving up. Machine: Type: Laptop System: HP product: HP Notebook v: Type1ProductConfigId Legacy Boot Order (this part is grayed out) Here's what I'm seeing in the setup utility: Looking at one of the computers now, HP 15-ba015wm.įrom GParted on an installed system, I go to View > Device Information and I see "Partition table: gpt". The other distros that I have on flash drives boot fine, but when I try to boot with either the MX-17 flash drive or the GParted Live flash drive, I get taken to the boot screen of the installed system rather than to the ones I'm trying to boot from the flash drives. Okay, as I was saying in another thread, I have two newer notebooks that don't seemed to want to boot my flash drives that have MX-17 or GParted Live on them.
