I installed Core Plus on my USB but when i boot to the USB it just ges back to the boot screen and does nothing. I'm using an ASUS TUF GAMING FX504 SERIES and i used unetbootin for writing the image.

Hello Forum,
Right.
Silly but, try other USB sockets....maybe....?
Do you know that the existing "USB device and it's Os" work on any other hardware (as required?)
Has it worked before? (yes/no).......what differences have occurred since?
It may be some incompatibility. of the image'd pen drive, aggregated to your bios .....certain settings or hardware bios kernel requirements.
(secure boot?) ....
You could re-make the Pen/thumb drive . Maybe try that for certainty.
Hope you can somehow get your "point of purpose" done.
Thx

Im sorry i dont know a lot about hardware what do you mean by other usb sockets? Also what do you mean by usb device and its o's.
-
Hi,
He mean another USB port
Have you install on e same USB stick of the image?
-
I tried using another USB socket didn't work. I have not tested it on other hardware. This is my first time trying this. Secure boot is off. Maybe you can recommend me good software to write on the USB drive.

Hi,
You can use balena etcher
-
The best software to use is tc-install on the CorePlus iso.
-
When i used balena etcher it didnt show up in the boot menu :(

Hi,
sorry but I think there is a misunderstanding :D
you have:
1. dowload the iso of CorePlus
2. Burn the image on the usb stick
3. Boot the pc from the usb
it is correct?
-
Yes
-
I'm gonna say step by step what i did.
1. Downloaded the Core Plus ISO.
2. Burned it on the USB using balena etcher
3. Shutoff my computer
4. Open the boot menu
5. The USB is not showing up in the boot menu
-
Hi,
ok, now I understand.
With the Asus pc press ESC button in the start up, it will show you all the drives for booting
-
I know thats what im saying the drive is nott there :(

have you try with another usb stick?
Made a research on the web, seems that the model of your pc as some issue for booting from usb.
-
It didn't work on the other usb stick neither
-
Hi,
you can burn a cd-rom? I think in that way you can solve ;)
-
you can try this

I'm using Arch Linux :D
-
I'm using Arch Linux :D
you have to burn a cd I think ;)
-
Sometimes you need to update the bios to get better support for usb boot.
-
Hi Zormein
Although we don't support unetbootin, see:
http://tinycorelinux.net/faq.html#pendrives
Here is a fairly recent "How to" web page for installing Tinycore using unetbootin that might help:
https://www.xmodulo.com/how-to-install-tiny-core-linux-on-usb-drive.html
Did you remember to select the Diskimage option?
-
I updated my BIOS and that didn't sadly work. And i can't use a CD because 1. I don't have one and 2. I don't have a CD reader
-
I tried installing Core Plus on the USB using Core Plus on a VM. But then it showed up in the boot menu but when i choose it it just goes back to the boot screen.

Hello Forum,
There is the Rufus tool. There has been instances where Rufus properly works for
stated purpose.
Thx

-
Like i already said i'm on arch linux so i cant use rufus
-
Your USB drive is not showing? Have you added the USB port to the boot device list? It's in BIOS setup.
-
Hi Zormein
Boot into Arch Linux.
Plug in the USB stick and identify which device it is assigned to (sdb, sdc, sde, etc.).
Download the ISO file.
For 32 bit:
http://tinycorelinux.net/12.x/x86/release/
For 64 bit:
http://tinycorelinux.net/12.x/x86_64/release/
The following will overwrite the entire contents of your USB stick.
If your USB stick is sde and if you downloaded CorePlus-12.0.iso then write the ISO to the stick like this:
dd if=CorePlus-12.0.iso of=/dev/sdeSee if it boots now.
-
It still doesn't show up in the boot menu.
-
Ho Zormein,
Do you nave GRUB ad bootloader?
-
Hi,
I did some tests with my asus x5din, using a usb 3.0 stick it is recognized, the 1.0 stick not. Before the usb 1.0 was recognized.
The only think changed is the grub update.
It could it be that the latest version of grub starts too fast?
-
Are you using the waitusb boot code?
-
Are you using the waitusb boot code?
Hi Juanito,
the default one (looking inside the file isolinux.cfg it is 5 seconds).
Let's talk about the fact that the pen drive on which we wrote the iso image is not recognized and therefore it is not possible to boot from usb.

Your machine is very modern and most likely a "UEFI" or uefi-only machine.
You might have to go into your so-called bios, and disable secure-boot, and also enable "legacy" support if you want to run any of the 32-bit *cores.
Thing is, with 8gb on board, your box will only recognize about 2gb of that with the 32-bit cores. :)
If your bios/setup routines don't allow for legacy support, your only hope is to run the 64-bit version of TC aka CorePure64 as some modern machines will not recognize 32-bit kernels at all.
corepure64
BUT, on some uefi or uefi-only machines, simple DD or even using 3rd party burning utils will not work.
Juanito has some great instructions on how to create a bootable 64-bit corepure64 usb, but you will do so manually to make sure the efi/boot and other partitions are referenced in the right order.
Failing that, you can use a special burner using YUMI-Uefi, but once burned, even that requires some modification and TinyCore know-how - kind of a catch-22.
Just saying - it *can* be done, but it isn't as easy with 64-bit modern machines like doing a simple burn-n-distro hop.
