I recently found out about openSUSE and really wanted to see how it was like. However, the booting process is killing me. I installed ImageWriter on a x64 windows 8 and ran it as an admin. Then I opened the .iso (the gnome one) onto it and clicked copy. A small “written” screen flashed for about a second and it came back to the original menu. Then I copied it again and got this error: http://i.imgur.com/3RdSRVK.png
Thanks for helping guys!
What about the ‘suse studio’ in the very back window ?

OK.
Nevertheless, there has to be a simple reason,
otherwise thousands of other users would have complained.
Is the USB stick formatted the ‘wrong’ way
(e.g. NTFS, EXT3, EXT4. etc.) ?
As I recall there is a problem with imagewriter on Windows8
The formatting should not matter. All of it is overwritten anyway.
But Imagewriter is known to have problems on Windows 8 (insufficient permissions even when run as Administrator, see the error message).
Use this instead, this is reported to work even on Windows 8:
Tools for OSForensics - ImageUSB - Write an image to multiple USB Flash Drives
Yes and has been said Imagewriter is broken on Win8 try ImageUSB instead as suggested
I tried imageusb and it worked! However; I cannot hear any sound, but I’m guessing this is a different problem. Thanks for the help!
Yes…
If you tell use exactly what you are doing we can help. But the crystal ball is broken and we can’t see over your shoulder.
Did you install or are you running from the USB
I installed it on a toshiba satellite. I used these instructions: Fixing no sound in browser problem on Linux ; but it didn’t work. The soundcard is an ATI R6xx I believe.
I doubt that fix applies.
Did you go to Yast and see if you can restart the sound card? Also see if the test sounds work there. Also try turning pulse-audio off
Also check your volume control make sure it is not set too low.
I did everything, plus I made AMD the default sound card rather than ATI Technologies Inc., since the latter had no volume options whatsoever. Also the test sound does nothing, even after I changed the volume and whatnot. I can hear sound perfectly when I am on Windows 8.1, is that a factor?
Did you turn off pulse-audio?
I turned it off using the sysconfig editor.
