USB-creator error "unrecognized partition number" SOLUTION

Ubuntu 9.10 was officially released last Thursday. I waited for this for a whole day until Beijing time. After downloading it for the first time, we installed the desktop and NBR versions in the Virtual Machine respectively. It feels good. Today we officially installed it on the actual computer.

The result is a problem at the beginning.

Because it was previously installed with an engraved disc, I am going to try to install it with a USB flash disk today, so I use the USB-creator in the existing ubuntu904 to create and start the USB flash disk. The result is a shameful failure, the error message is:

The partition number cannot be identified.

Google again in both Chinese and English. No solution was found, but the problem is that the partition table on the USB disk is incorrect. This is because you do not need to pay attention to the copy file or anything.

I had to manually change the partition table in Linux to solve this problem (Windows does not seem to support modifying the Partition Table of the USB flash disk ):

First, umount the USB flash drive, and then use:

Sudo fdisk-l

Check the partition structure. On my computer, the USB flash drive is/dev/SDC.

Then use:

Sudo fdisk/dev/SDC

Edit the partition table.

Use the p command to check the existing partitions. the USB flash drive contains four primary partitions. Run the D command to delete all objects. Run the N command to create a primary partition and use all the space. Run the command to start the partition. Then use the T command to change its format to 6 (fat16 ). Finally, run the W command to save and exit.

Format it again:

Sudo mkfs. vfat-F 16-N liveusb/dev/SDC

Then, use USB-creator.

In fact, I think it is good to let USB-creator do this automatically. I don't know why I need to do it manually. The new version may be better. Try again later.
