Hello everyone,
is it still possible to use a 1 GB usb flash drive for the memtest86 image?
Facts that speak against that:
- memtest68_usb.img used to be 512 MB in size. Now it's (in most new versions) 1 GB in size.
- image creation always worked on my 1 GB usb flash drive as long as the image was 512 MB in size. Every time the image is 1 GB in size, image creation fails (to be noted: sometimes a new version is released with a 512 MB image. Next version may be a 1 GB image again. There seems no consistency …)
Facts that should speak for that:
- every documentation (where that requirement is mentioned) claims a usb flash drive >= 512 MB should suffice
- I could find no information anywhere, where is noted that the usb flash drive size requirement was changed. No readme, no changelog, no documentation, no faql, …
A small hint if a 1 GB flash drive is still usable or why image creation fails lately would be appreciated.
Addendum: trying to create that boot disk in windows.
Kind regards
