Is your usb under-powered. To many usb-devices plugged in? What USB brand/model is it?

Thanks you for your generous support
after testing these on AntiX, and on MacOS, Windows 7 and Car Music Player.

Code: Select all

sudo ./live-usb-maker -g --gpt --data-first

Code: Select all

sudo ./live-usb-maker --data-first

Bootable AntiX 17.4.1 on USB models

Code: Select all

1. USB 2gb - Kingston Traveller Type-A 2.0
2. USB 32gb - Transcend TurboJet 700 Type-A 3.1 Gen 1

Both Flash Drives never worked on Windows 7, MacOS and Car Music Player, i tried both MBR and GPT on these.

Also these flash drives only work as Bootable and show the first partition inside AntiX or Linux OS only.

thank you

Hello,

I followed yours instructions (get last usb-maker, launch it with -gpt option) to make a usb-live system (with encryption) on an external hard drive, usb-maker crash at making partition table.

The drive is a 4TB BarraCuda, I connected it with differents links so I don't think this is an under-power issue.
I have no problem to format it with Gparted,

[edit] ... but i use MX and not AntiX, so this is surely out of context?

You tried to convert a 4TB external drive into a LiveUSB? That's remarkable exercise. I guess even if the partition part would work, the EFI partition is far on the end of that drive, this alone might create issues for the UEFI system to navigate to that far end. On BIOS/legacy it might work, but if you added a data-first and the Live-ext4 partition is to far away BIOS will not be able to make such a big long distance jump.

So i will stick with my 1TB HDD-USB-Live-Encrypted-Persistent-System
