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.

Troubleshooting / WANOS boots to Core Linux
« on: March 18, 2016, 08:09:54 AM »
I was impressed at first but now I am feeling less enthusiastic, I ran WANOS on a USB, looked at the features and then tried to write it to the physical disk, it failed, from then the machine just boots to the Core Linux.
I tried a new machine and it also booted into WANOS, after trying to write the system to disk it just boots to the Core Linux prompt. The writing to disk also failed.

I noticed that if I unplug the physical hard disk they WANOS boots up again, so what is the failure to write the OS to disk do that it just toasts the system?

I see may people ask the question about how to write the OS to disk but the answers are all the same, is there no better way?
