ok so it at least works with Mint then

@captain-sensible

So far it is all proceeding well.
I have finished installing Linux Mint 19.2 and everything went without a problem. All apps that I have tried are working.

So. what would you suggest, just simply reformat the stick and repeat.

Harald,

I need more information from you. Please answer these two items:

First - referring to # 154 - which partition are you referring to?
Second - what do you mean - you have copied unetbootin 5 times?

Please clarify these for me.
Thanks.

Hi Charlie, I've saved the unetbootin file in a folder on the computer. Every time it goes onto the flash drive thats when it some where decides to stop. That has happened now 5 times. Everytime I have to stop the sequence, I have to reformat the flash drive, because itss incomplete. Right?

Re #154 the partition mentioned there refers to the space I/ve made ready for Luni

@hacodo75

Did you follow the directions I gave in # 153 precisely?

 

[hacodo75]

This blinking Win 10 goes off when it thinks it will. I was saying, was made ready for Linux. I should not have mentioned it there.

 

[hacodo75]

I think so. downloaded to computer, saved in Document in a folder save and sound, then followed the displayed next window to get it onto flash drive [USB]

 

[hacodo75]

checked:: I had exactly those windows and watched the Download of files, then the extraction which stopped at file 262 twice.

Now I would like you to go through it again; this time I want you to take a screenshot of each new screen that comes up, starting with a screenshot of the folder where unetbootin is stored; and attach them to your replies, one screenshot for each reply. {I realize this is going to take some time, but it's the only way I know of that I can see where and if there is a problem. Thanks for being patient;}

I'll try, gives me the creeps. its not the screnshots, but the attaching I find difficult. Don't thank me for being patient, I was more thinking if you had hair on your head, you would be tearing it out by now.

 

[hacodo75]

this is no4 by the way it was running but has just stopped at 1326 meg

 

[hacodo75]

This is no 3, sorry I just can't get them in order

 

[hacodo75]

This is now no 1

 

[hacodo75]

This was the first screenshot, I just could not get that in the first instance, I;m holpefull and sure, you can get them into the right sequence, I'm sorry its such a muddle. Its my not having any track with Win 10, it does with me as it wants to and I don;t know what has happend.

@hacodo75 @captain-sensible

Yum! Sounds very good.
Harald, before we go further, seeing that 'attaching' to your posts give you a little problem, perhaps we should just take a time out and see if I can simplify that for you. If you would like to do that, I'll be happy to see what I can put together to make it easy to understand.

PS I must say though, that your screenshot attachments are coming through just fine.

 

[hacodo75]

yesand I must say, that it is the stupid WIN 10 system that makes it so difficult. I'm slowly learning that it is the copying over that I forget. But it is very confusing. copy here paste there then paste again. Don't worry about making it easier, unless you are planning a screenshooting spree.

 

[captain-sensible]

I can see a couple of things making ti confusing one is navigating into dropbox by mistake so maybe disable or uninstall ? Then its the way of navigating ; you used to be able to just do "my computer" and look around. That file tab , is that not giving details when all we wnt to see is something like abc.exe on Desktop ?
