Problems creating USB installed using Trisquel 7

I recently downloaded a fresh copy of Uruk-2.0-beta-2, and checked the SHA256. Then I tried to use a recently installed and fully updated Trisquel 7, running on my Aspire One, to make a USB installer. I tried it with both Disks (using 'restore image') and Startup Disk Creator, but neither successfully booted. The installer created using Disks just said "Missing operating system", then went to a normal boot for the internal drive. The installer created using Startup Disk Creator spat out an error message, then a 'boot:' prompt, then repeated this until I used the power button to shut the PC down.

Last time I created a USB installer to test beta2, I used Disks on my LMDE laptop, which worked fine. Anyone got any idea what might have gone wrong?

BTW the Aspire One is 32-bit, full specs on my user information page. Must get around to putting it into H-Node.

Disks on LMDE didn't work either. Ended up back on Trisquel using a command from the wiki:

"Terminal (dd of GNU Coreutils)

$ sudo dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M;sync

Note that you want the device name (e.g. /dev/sdx) not the partition name (e.g. /dev/sdx1)."

Working a treat. Reinstalling beta2 now.

Thanks for this post. Your solution resolved the issue I was having.

Good to hear. But whatever the problem is with both Uruk 2 and Trisquel 8 betas, it needs to be fixed before the final releases. Uruk and Trisquel are both supposed to be noob-friendly distros, and official release that can't be installed without command line wizardry is just embarrassing ;)

I only had this problem with Trisquel. Uruk Beta 2 worked fine on my x60 with Startup Disk Creator.

I remember always having this same issue with trisquel 7 and resorting to dd to create a live USB.
