[SOLVED] Debian on old Asus laptop

#1 Post by pawRoot »

Hi

I am trying to install Debian 9 on old Asus K50IJ, i just replaced the drive to SSD, and BIOS can see the drive (its empty drive formatted under Mac OS).
I tried doing the Debian USB installer a few times already, first i did it on Mac OS using "dd" command, then using ISO2Disc under Win10 (and selecting MBR for legacy mode).
When i boot the USB i get error "An operating system wasn't found".

by the way im using net netinst iso.

So a better title for this thread would be "Having trouble creating a Debian install USB pendrive"?

Try Rufus or Etcher on Win10 to create a bootable USB. Rufus seems to have a couple different options if the first try doesn't work out, too.

Succeded with Rufus, tried multiple tools but only Rufus worked.
