The file is checked for integrity as it is fetched. The 'zip' may be simply Windows' best guess at the file type.īitTorrent download is better than using your browser. The distribution is an ISO, ISO9660 compliant, but the first 32768 bytes include an MBR and a GPT which will confuse any OS and some BIOS. The OS inside the file is already 'squashed' as a mountable read-only file system. If it's a Mint distribution it will be around 1700MB as a single file, like the ones on the end of this link. Posting the URL of the file you fetched would help everyone go and look at what you downloaded. iso and burned to usb bootable using Unetbootin. Vaio Netbook SVE1112M1EW, 4Gb RAM (AMDE2-1800 twin-core, 1.7MHz), UEFI boot, 350Gb free of 450Gb HD running Windows 10 Home, build 6. I'd be really grateful for some help over this first unexpected hurdle. I found an entry on this forum from 2013 with the same problem, solved by uninstalling a WinRar compression app, but that doesn't I hope apply here. As an alternative I installed Ubootnetin and downloaded the 17.4 64-bit version of Mint it offered, which managed to download and install and even boot up, but with horrendous error messages re 'Windows NTFS corruption' etc and a load of screen-flickering.
I've tried to burn to an 8Gb USB drive via Yumi with predictably poor results ('No OS found' on boot) I've halfheartedly unzipped the files and tried to burn and boot, again with no success. zip files - I've downloaded from two sites and they arrive as. I'm trying to escape from Windows10 by installing Mint 18.3 Xfce 64-bit to my Sony Vaio netbook (details below), but all the links to the ISO files on the list of mirrors show up as. Apologies if this is too newbie even for this forum.
