Re-formats usually "succeeded" but only showed a tiny free space, ie didn't effect the live ISO. It's a while ago but I think I tried the formatting on both LL and Win7.
I want to try the 4.0 upgrade, I'm reluctant to use my last clean (32GB!!) usb. Any suggestions please?
Hi,
You don't need to be worried about formatting the USB, since you can always reformat it after using it
for Linux installation. And, the USB does not need to be formatted at all when you write the LL iso image into it.
I assume you are using Windows. If so, just "burn" the LL iso image to the USB and that's it.
(If you use Linux, and let's say your USB drive seems to be /dev/sdc, then just 'sudo cat imagefile > /dev/sdc' )
