Help with TAILS upgrade please
    #20349921 - 07/30/14 04:37 AM (9 years, 9 months ago)

Im trying to upgrade my USB to TAILS 1.1

I tried to use the TAILS Installer included with the download. HoweveI cant get the system to aknowledge that a USB stick is installled. Nothing shows up in the "places" menu.

I tried using the USB installer software from Pendrive (through windows) as well. And its the same thing. I plug a stick in and it doesnt even register in the "Computer" page.

Regular memory sticks are working fine, but anuthing with Tails doesnt show up. The hell am I doing wrong here? I cant even erase these drives so I can start at the beggining. Is there a step Im missing here? A solution better than just buying brand new thumbdrives?

just a guess here, but does the installer format your usb drive in something other than NTFS? you can check in disk management and see if the usb is present there.

The problem is that you're trying to upgrade it through windows.

To upgrade it, you have to boot from the USB, and then within the TAILS OS, you are able to upgrade it.

I've tried both through the tails installer and through the Universal USB Installer.

I've downloaded a new ISO from the TAILS website. And created a brand new drive. Even with that all done, I get the same error message on boot:

SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 2012-10-23 Copywrite (C) 1994-2012 H. Peter Anvin et al i fcpu64.c32: not a COM32R image

After some research. It turns out that the internal TAILS Installer is broken on the new release.

But I'm still not having any luck just starting over either.
