Re: Starting installation fails: mounting device

Try again a few times.

How did you transfer the ISO image to the installation medium?

What is your hardware?

Re: Starting installation fails: mounting device

I used Win7 the default isoburn provided by the OS.
Hardware: AMD X6 1055T,2.8, Radeon R9 290X, SSD128GB

Tried it several times, thought the medium is damaged first, but normally this should work.

I use no UEFI, but Debian also works here fine with this components.

Use `dd`.

From Windows, I would recommend USBWriter:
