Boot Error on linux mint 13 cinnamon live usb
I want to install linux Mint 13 on my computer. I got the cinnamon .iso for 32 bit and used unetbootin to make a live usb, but when I boot from it, the screen just says BOOT ERROR. What did I do wrong?

BTW - if your machine has limited graphics capability it might not be able to run Cinnamon. The MATE versions of Linux Mint are less hardware-demanding. Best of luck! |

Install Linux Mint 13 from USSB
Hello,
You need to pre-format the USB to Fat32 using Gparted and then use Unetbootin to burn the iso image. Cinnamon is not an iso image. You can choose Ubuntu Classic, Mate or Cinnamon on the login. Regards, Allan :) |
In the BIOS options for my computer, I put USB-ZIP ad the first boot option. I used the same usb stick on a newer computer and it worked, so is USB-ZIP not what I think it is?

Different manufacturers have different options. You haven't posted any information on your hardware. If you selected USB-Zip and had your usb in the slot on boot, then I would expect that it is not correct. You can either post the various boot options your have in your BIOS with the hardware information or try all of them one at a time?

USB-ZIP is for the now largely forgotten external ZIP drives, which use a special format. So, the USB stick needs to be specially formatted to be recognised as a ZIP drive - You really don't want to bother with that.
USB-HDD should work, I think. USB-FDD won't. If these options are not available, then plopKexec on a floppy drive or CD will do the trick. |
