I searched for and read several articles on creating a bootable USB. I didn’t find anything that matched my problem. I am a newbie so be very explicit and gentle with me please. I have downloaded the 64 bit version iso file for 12.3. I have tried to create a bootable USB (32G) 2 different ways. First I used Linux Live Creator in Win7. On startup it says it doesn’t recognize 12.3 and would use 12.x as a guide (or something like that). It goes through the whole creation process and, right at the end, shows the error “variable used without being declared”. Tried that both with a fat formatted and unpartitioned USB. Then I went to linux and tried Imagewriter. It allowed me to find the iso file but would not let me see the USB stick. That field insisted on being blank (it has a copy button beside it).
In the threads I did read, I found several references to something called dd. I am not afraid of the terminal, but would like more documentation than I saw in the threads. Any ideas how to create a bootable USB on a BIOS laptop?
