I've been using Linux Lite 2.8 for the past year and want to replace it now with 3.2. I downloaded both the 32 bit and 64 bit 3.2 ISOs and and have been following the instructions described under the heading "Writing the Linux Lite ISO to USB in Linux and OSX" and got the letter for my USB stick (sdf). Next it says, "Open a folder and make sure you are in the directory that the ISO file is in. Open a terminal in that directory ....."
OK, so then I went to my Downloads folder where I saw the two ISOs, clicked on the white space to bring up the Terminal and entered the command
sudo dd if=linux-lite-3.2-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdf bs=4M
After about a minute, the terminal replied
244+1 records in
244+1 records out
1024458752 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 152.587 s, 6.7 MB/s
Not sure what this meant, I re-entered the command a second time, but this time for the 32 bit ISO and got back the same message (relatively).
The Live USB image never happened on my desktop. The 4.0 GB USB stick has been completely wiped out and now can only hold less than 1 GB.
Where did I go wrong here?
I also tried the "Writing the Linux Lite ISO to USB on Windows" option, but had no luck with this either. After downloading Win32DiskImager on my Windows 8.1 laptop and running the Setup wizard, I got the following message
Unable to execute file; C/Program files (x86)\Image Writer\Win32DiskImager.exe
Create process failed; code 740
The requested operation requires elevation
Any ideas on how to get around this?
