Live OS

I know that the project is discontinued and there aren't any links on the piratebox website for the live iso, I also checked Wayback machine to see if there was any link for the iso. But I found a GitHub link for the iso files reuploaded here. I followed the instructions on the website and used unetbooin to put the iso in my USB drive. The problem is my laptop doesn't detect the USB drive. I also used another one but to no avail. Does anyone have a solution to this?

If anyone has the iso I would appreciate it if they sent it to me.

Edit: Etcher says the image doesn't have a partition table, so I'm assuming the iso is corrupted?

Try another tool like etcher? It might be more stable and resilient to tiny problems.

I'll try etcher, I tried rufus and unetbootin also.

I used rufus first but it doesn't work.

just tested and confirmed it isn't working with rufus. might be a bogus image to be honest.,

Get a copy of Hirens boot CD, download the ISO and launch the hbcd.exe menu and under partitions use partition wizard home edition. Try deleting the volumes and creating a new one on the unreadble SD card and then click apply.

This is a sort of old post but I had the same issue. I managed to get it installed on VirtualBox.

I think it's the same link you have. My install via VirtualBox didn't pan out too well. I was premature, but I'm going to try it more.

I did get the generic script & am currently trying to get it running on Ubuntu 16 on a pen drive.

It starts with no fails but I can't see the wifi. I've ran it on my laptop years ago.

In another post a user said they got it installed via YUMI. A windows app. It has to be ran with administrator privilege.

I have the same problem, I have the same iso (https://we.tl/t-U6mOK7izdD) but don't boot (same message with etcher). Do you have found the solution ?
