USB drive won’t be bootable. I have formatted the USB using FAT32 (both quick and complete format) and even tried only FAT. The error still appears.

FAT sectors. When I ran syslinux.exe -maf G:, I got a much more informative message, or at least one that I could better understand: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem. And of course, the flash drive wasn't http://askubuntu.com/questions/142728/how-to-fix-syslinux-error-creating-a-bootable-usb-stick-in-windows FAT32, it was NTFS. I had forgotten to format the drive as FAT32 before running the utility, but I also managed to not check the box next to "We will format G:\Drive as FAT32." in the utility itself. No wonder Google wasn't returning any results when I searched this - who's going to have missed properly formatting the drive not once but twice? In the event that a quick format as FAT32 doesn't work for you, you can try https://ardamis.com/2011/09/18/universal-usb-installer-syslinux-errors/ running a few diskpart commands in Windows to really thoroughly format a flash drive, including the MBR and partition table.

This was my problem, except I did format the USB, but I only did a quick format, which apparently is not enough to change it from NTFS to FAT32. Kat 28 September 2011 at 5:44 pm Hey, thanks for this! I also mis-formated my USB stick. I wish the Ubuntu website mentioned it though. Matt 19 October 2011 at 2:49 pm I had this issue, and it wasn't a formatting problem (although thank you for the tip), but rather that the amount of space I specified to "Store Changes" needed to be at least 2048MB (2GB). It was an 8GB flash drive, so this was no problem. The reason it needs 2GB of space is that is the minimum amount of space required to house an Ubuntu system volume. If I had opted out of retaining changes, I probably wouldn't have even encountered this trouble, but I wanted to experiment with a portable, updateable Ubuntu install. vizzini 31 October 2011 at 2:38 pm >
trying to install Tails, you could skip the Ubuntu step and use Windows to verify the ISO using the following method: An easy way to verify the integrity of the Tails ISO on Windows is to https://m.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs/comments/37n6vy/an_error_1_occurred_while_executing_syslinuxyour/ install the HashTab utility. It will calculate various file hashes by selecting a file in windows explorer, right clicking on it and selecting Properties -> "File Hashes". You can download HashTab from here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/hashtab,1.html Once the file is downloaded, right click on it and select "Extract All". Hit Extract. Double click on "HashTab v5.x.x.x Setup" to install it. Run through the default installer steps. Once an error it is installed, right click on the Tails ISO in the file manager and select Properties. Click on the File Hashes tab. Click on the blue "Settings" below the hash values. Check mark "SHA-256". Check mark "Use lowercase hash values". Hit OK. The SHA256 hash value should now appear at the bottom of the Hash Value screen (after a small calculation delay). (You will need to an error 1 hover your mouse over the SHA-256 line to see the complete value.) You can right click on the SHA256 value and select Copy to copy it into the clipboard. The latest SHA256 hash for the ISO can be found here: https://tails.boum.org/inc/stable_i386_hash/ Also here: https://tails.boum.org/download/index.en.html (Do a Ctrl-F to search for "sha256") An easy way to compare the hash value from the website to the one from HashTab is to copy them into a notepad window one below the other. If the SHA256 hashes match, the ISO file verifies as good and you are ready to install it. 2[deleted] • 488d, 17h[deleted] ziz1 • 488d, 17h What does this mean and what is the next step please? The file was either truncated, or it was somehow corrupted during the download. I would re-download the Tails ISO. What length do you have for the file? Right click on the Tails ISO and select properties. On the General tab, what length, in bytes do you have for the file? (Not size on disk.) I have 970,584,064 bytes for the file length. 2[deleted] • 488d, 16h[deleted] ziz1 • 488d, 15hIf you don't have the correct SHA-256 checksum, you should
