Please do not use Unetbootin. It's extraordinarily easy to shoot yourself in the foot with it, and the processing it does to turn ISO images into bootable USB images is unnecessary as well, since Debian now makes 'ISO hybrid' images that can be directly imaged to your USB key: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en#usb-copy-isohybrid I'm disappointed to find the install guide has no pointers as to how to do this on Windows. I've helped a few Windows users struggle through writing USB images using various tools, and it seems there were problems with each of them. This one looks promising, but not being a Windows user myself, I can't say whether it's any better than the others or not: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer Ben _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
