I am watching whole youtube video about Darkiban and i find it amazing and fast distro. then i decide to put it on USB stick. I download ISO from here and as usual use my LiLi USB creator he complain about broken package. Then i use Unebooting ...he refuse to copy files to USB.. I try ran Ventoy and that one not work on my win7 machine I try to use Etcher ..also not work on my win7 64bit is there any other USB boot creator that i can ran Darkiban in live booting from USB stick.

Try to do as following:

PART 1: ISO preparations

• Mount the ISO on the system that it could be browsable in the file explorer

PART 2: USB stick preparation:

1. use a program to wipe (not format) the usb stick
2. use partitioning application to create a GPT file table
3. create a fat32 partition and make it bootable
4. mount it to make visible in
5. (optional) do disk check for errors

PART 3:

1. copy the files from the mounted ISO to the USB stick
2. umount the ISO and USB stick
3. reboot the computer

PART 4: BIOS

1. enter the settings of the boot sequence
2. ensure yourself that the USB is se t as the first boot device
3. ofthe BIOS got instead <Hard disk priority", you need to set the USB stick in the first position, before else drives

Hi Michal
part 4 is not important i already have set BIOS to boot first device USB

Mount the ISO on the system that it could be browsable in the file explorer<

So you suggest me to mount ISO from Linux...not to use Windows?
Is that the case?

use partitioning application to create a GPT file table

Which application can create that table ?
Gparted maybe?

create a fat32 partition and make it bootable
mount it to make visible in
(optional) do disk check for errors

All this steps also from Linux ?

as for part 4, I wrote it "for any case" to ensure that BIOS/UEFI won't prevent it from starting 😉

So you suggest me to mount ISO from Linux...not to use Windows?

I never wrote that. You can use even a virtual machine to run it 🤪

Which application can create that table ?
Gparted maybe?

Any partitioner that support GPT partition tables. GPart is a good and simple text based one

All this steps also from Linux ?

It's in general
