Troubleshooting / Re: WANOS boots to Core Linux
« on: March 18, 2016, 12:09:01 PM »
I can answer my own question..
If the writing to disk fails it does something to the destination disk partition table, if that table is not readable then WANOS fails to load even if its loading off the USB disk.
Unplug the physical hard disk and check that WANOS loads normally (just to make sure yours OS Image is not toasted)
Then wipe any partition off the physical hard disk using a USB boot tool and try again. It seems that once you have had one run at it and it fails you HAVE to wipe the destination disk before trying again.
My subsequent tries succeeded even though they did show some errors during the writing process, never the less WANOS loaded and ran off the physical disk.
Most frustrating as the partition issue is not mentioned on any forum and took me the better part of a day to solve.
Hopefully this helps someone else.
