Live Media usb boot ERROR

Could you please give some more info an your system and the version you tried to use?

Did you check the md5 checksum of the downloaded file?

MD5 checksum is a method to verify the integrity of a file (in this case, the downloaded image file).
You can download a free program that generates and checks MD5 checksums (for xp) at the web page
http://www.toast442.org/md5/
It doesn't need any installation. You can use it to check the MD5 checksum of your download and compare it with the value given in the GParted site. If the 2 values aren't the same, then the download is broken.

About the RAM size: 192 MB is quite small.
I have to add that a Pentium 2 processor (or later) is needed. GParted livecd doesn't run on first generation Pentium.

I’m getting the same error when booting from USB. I used the installation instructions for USB boot, namely “Windows Method A: Tuxboot”. After successfully installing the image with Tuxboot, I rebooted and chose USB CD-ROM from my BIOS boot drive list. It boots from stick and I get this message:

syslinux 3.85 2010-02-20
No default or ui configuration directive found!
boot:

That’s strange. I mean the BIOS loads the correct bootloader, but then syslinux (or isolinux, what’s the difference, though? I got both directories on the stick after installing.) cannot load the GParted-Linux-kernel.
I then burned a CD with the same ISO, that works fine.

Using “Windows Method C” does almost exactly the same (what’s the difference between unetbootin and tuxboot?) with the exact same error message. I’m using Windows 7 x64.

After a search in the forum I could not find another thread with this kind of error message, neither was the problem solved in this thread. So here’s still the question how to solve it. I remember having similar problems with unetbootin some months ago and could solve them by manually edit some ini-files, switching isolinux to syslinux or vice versa. But this was very time-consuming and I don’t remember what I have done. Also an automatic ISO2USB builder like Tuxboot should do it correctly from the beginning …

Thanks for all hints und solutions.

Sorry for the late answer.

Yes I tried the manual method. Same problem. Syslinux just won’t load the system. I have a Gigabyte mainboard, for booting I choose USB-HDD from the boot menu. So syslinux seems to be the correct bootloader.

Other suggestions? What is the meaning of the error message? Maybe I need to change the syslinux.cfg?

Edit:
I found the error. The USB stick was formatted with FAT32, but it needs to be FAT16. Would be great if you could add a hint on http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php about that. Seems that not in every case the combination of BIOS, mainboard, stick supports FAT32.
