I'm currently "remote" and only have access to Windows machines. I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to create a USB stick with openSUSE 12.3 using ImageWriter. Basic steps are: - Prepare the USB stick as RAW - ie define a partition, but do not format it (I've also tried formatting it as FAT32, NTFS and ext4 and running through these steps) - Launch ImageWriter as administrator - Locate the openSUSE ISO (verified the MD3 earlier) - Click Copy When I do this the copy dialog flashes on-screen and then nothing (no error messages). If I click Copy again, ImageWrite says it cannot access the device and asks if I'm sure I'm running as Admin. I've tested this on Windows 7 and Windows 8 (two different computers) with the same results. A friend of mine reported the exact same behaviour to me about a month ago when he was trying to install openSUSE. I usually use ImageWriter from openSUSE, and there it works perfectly. Has anyone else tried creating a bootable LiveCD on USB stick using ImageWriter from Windows lately? I've tried unetbootin, but getting odd/mixed results. I can write the ISO, but I can't yet get it to boot on the UEFI system I'm working on (gets caught in a loop early in the boot menu). I've also tried YUMI, but whatever it creates on the USB stick isn't even recognized by the UEFI side.
