USB Installation Walkthrough Error #10

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use beta or two 64 bit releases on home page for Groovy Arcade ISO
2. Burn Disc
3. Use walk through provided on site
4. Install to thumb drive
5. Restart computer, remove disc when complete
6. Computer detects USB and attempts to load
7. Error Shown: root (hd1,0)Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
8. Attempted to edit to hd0,0. Groovy mame attempts to boot and progress bar 
gets 90% to the end after several minutes, then hangs. 

I'm unsure of the root settings since I'm not a Linux Pro. I currently have 
Windows XP with an NTFS drive installed. I've seen this popup as a possible 
issue but I don't know the work around. I can run the emulator with the disc 
with no problem, so seems like everything else is in check.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GroovyArcade-Arch2012.03.25-x86_64.iso
GroovyArcade-Arch2012.06.09-x86_64.iso
GroovyArcade-Arch2014.10.24-x86_64.iso

HP Desktop Windows XP Pent 4, ATI video card X300, NTFS Drive, 32 gig sandisk 
thumb drive.

Of course perhaps this is a user error not knowing how to use Linux, but the 
instructions don't tell you what to do when you get this error. I'm hoping its 
simple and not an error, though glad I may have found a bug or help others that 
are lost.

Forgot to add "Groovy Arcade" not "Groovy mame" in terms of the progress bar 
during the splash loading screen.

I assume you used the USB_installation guide on the wiki?

0x7 is an NTFS partition type. Your error has to lay somewhere in step "HD 
Installation and Partition Tools"

Perhaps if you walk us through what your doing on these steps with some screen 
shots we can assist further.

Some options you can try.
- Try the latest version of GroovyArcade. As of this post the latest version is 
GroovyArcade-Arch2015.02.15-x86_64.iso
- Disconnect your Windows drive before doing the GroovyArcade HDD installation.
- Open up a shell and delete all the partitions on the drive you want to 
install GroovyArcade on. Usually something like
$ sudo fdisk /dev/sda 
OR
$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb

There is a tonne of information out there for fdisk but if you get lost let me 
know.
