Hi Robert, Actually, as said by you, I downloaded the image BBB Rev C (4GB eMMC) (Flasher: lxde: (1.7GB Free on 4GB eMMC)) in the link http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#2014-12-31 as I use BBB Rev C. I verified the Md5 to be the same.
Then I installed the image in 4GB card using Win32 image installer and found everything normal. I also removed the card and inserted in my PC and found the files with total size of the card to be 95.7 MB and free space to be 34MB. I think until this point, everything is ok. Next is I inserted the card in BBB, and then supplied power (only through adapter) while pressing the boot button until a moment after all the LEDs glowed. Then it seemed that all LEDs glowed randomly but within 10 seconds, only the 3rd LED (D4) from RESET button is lit throught (many minutes) and not the other LEDs. I again pressed the power button till the BBB shuts down and removed the power and did the same process again. But the same thing happened. I waited for ten minutes of flashingand then I shut down BBB and removed the card and connected the BBB with my PC through USB and tried to so SSH with putty. But it displayed the error stating the connection timed out. Please help me find a solution for this! Thank you.
