r3ptilbot Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Recently I got a new Alienware M17 which I have really enjoyed.😊 Currently I just have Windows 10 Home but I want to do a dual boot with Kali Linux. I have been having trouble setting this up lately. I will say what I did step by step and see if anyone knows what to do. First I created a disk partition I intend on using for kali than I I downloaded a Kali Linux iso file from their downloads page. After the kali iso had finished downloading I went and downloaded the Universal USB Installer. I plugged in my USB and began burning the kali iso to the USB. After I was finished with that I booted my computer from the USB and was greeted with the installation page for Kali Linux. I chose the graphic installer option and chose my language and region. Then when it got to the part when it was trying to mount the USB it said it was unable to do so. I had to abort the installation afterwards. I was thinking it may be a problem with my USB as I had already burned another iso (parrotsec OS) onto it and tried to burn the kali onto the USB regardless. Anyways I want to see if any of you have any advice for what I should do in order to successfully dual boot my laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3ptilbot Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 I forgot to mention this before but if any of you are wondering I did disable secure boot for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3ptilbot Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Okay so it looks like it was a problem with my USB. I was able to have a parrotsec iso file burned onto a USB with etcher pretty well. Looks like the problem is gone for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
