boot from usb pendrive problems

Post by eric2kwok » 2018/10/03 00:45:51

I got one pendrive with 4GB memory, I tried to used some tools downloaded from such as Unetbootin, Rufus.......but all doesn't work,I ever tried to use dd command individually but no use, does not helpful. I'm using 64bit system Windows 10, is it the UEFI problem? ISO: CentOS 7.5 Build Live GNOME.iso

any have successfully experience can share to me for reference that would be grateful.

If I provided information not enough, please let me know. Many thanks again.

I think it's a UEFI problem.

Try with:

https://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/7/ ... E-1611.iso

In may laptop (UEFI), this is the latest version that can boot.

I'm fairly sure that the "Live" media is NOT UEFI capable. I thought I remembered that being documented in the release notes but I just read all of them from 7.0 onwards and cannot find a mention of it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
