Title: Can't install TinyCore on a storage device? Take a look at this fix...
Post by: Coburn64 on July 22, 2009, 03:55:38 AM

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.

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ (http://gparted.sourceforge.net/)

http://partedmagic.com/ (http://partedmagic.com/)

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

passing -y might automate the yes part
