Can't install TinyCore on a storage device? Take a look at this fix...

[Coburn64]

Hi,

I found when I was following the partitioning part of the install guide that cfdisk/mkfs had corrupted the new partition, making it error with I/O errors.

What I did is run fsck /dev/hda1 (where hda1 is your storage device) and pressed y on all the "Fix error?" prompts.

Install could be resumed like there was no hiccup at all.

Hope this helps someone!

Cheers!

It sounds like the disk was in use while it was partitioned and mkfs was run.

People not so familiar with cfdisk/mkfs may find GParted easier.

They can partition the drive using one of these before beginning installation.

passing -y might automate the yes part
