Hi everyone. I am having trouble booting from usb. I am trying to recover data from a notebook with windows. So i think use a live linux from opensuse. And perform the following steps: 1) download a opensuse liveCD, (3 opensuse versions and others) You can only install one. Which did you try?
I would recommend this one for rescue work:
2) install the image with imagewriter to a usb with a SD memory. an usb stick?
imagewriter on linux or windows? I recently burned a downloaded OS using "Flash Image Writer" on Mageia and it works perfectly. I assume this is the same program that was described. --doug

3) go to failed notebook select boot from usb 4) Grub menu works fine. 5) I select start live..... 6) The system cant boot: mount /run/overlay/squashfs_container: wrong fs type on /dev/loop0 mount /run/overlay/rootfsbase: special device /LiveOS/rootfs.img does not exist. system halted
Y try on another notebook (that work well) with the similar result. dracut: FATAL: failed to mount live ISO dracut: Refusing to continue I'm guessing the copy to usb stick was not done right.
But just in case, if your computer has both USB 3 and 2 ports and you tried on usb3, now try usb2.
