I tries many times but the same error. help…
Hello Sudessh, i’m Edgar and i talk from Brazil. So, can you try install the image directly on USB or you only use the Endless setup? If is possible to you, can you go to Download Page on Endless OS site and download de the ISO.

If you use a Linux Desktop i suggest this link:

If you use a Windows Desktop, open you Comand Prompt (typing “cmd” on search bar) and with the cmd open type:
diskpart - They will ask to open a cmd on administrator mode, click ok.
Now with the diskpart open type:
list disk - They will show all disk’s available on the system.
In my case, my USB Flashdrive is the Disk 1, so after that type:
select disk 1 - They will select the USB Flashdrive (Remeber Disk 1 is for my case, make sure of you USB Flash drive before continue)
clean - they will clear all registers of USB Flashdrive.
After that, type:
create partition primary - they will create a bootable partition on USB Flashdrive.
After that type:
active - For active the bootable partition.
Now is time to format the USB Flashdrive, so type:
format fs=fat32 quick - This will format USB Flashdrive in fat32 format in quick mode (is more faster in this way).
Now make the USB Flashdrive visable for editing again, type:
assign - This will atribute a Letter to USB Flashdrive and make visable for Windows.
After that open the .img file you downloaded on Endless OS site, copy all the files for the USB Flashdrive and reboot you PC.
Depeding of you motherboard the option to boot directly on USB Flashdrive will enable or not, if not acess your BIOS type (this may vary from board to board) “DEL” “F2” “F10”. And go to section of Boot Priority or Boot Order an select to First Boot your USB Flashdrive.
Sorry for the bad english, i hope this can help you to install Endless on you PC!
hello Edgar, thank you for your reply… I had tried both method installing it, I installed directly from endless OS setup with basic version. but every time while installing it fails, so I tried to make USB stick from that same downloaded image. but here also after verifying while writing to USB disk the program stops responding and closes.I think there might be problem in image file, so should I download it once again ?
I am running it on windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
Making a USB stick with the method described above will not work.
Sudessh, can you find any log files from your failed attempts to install? There should be some files named like EndlessInstaller [date and time].log in the same folder as the endless-installer.exe you downloaded. Please can you attach them to this thread?
Enlessos works on 64 bit architecture only… so do you have it ?
Hi @smileyyasha - it’s very common for Windows machines before Windows 8 to have a 64-bit CPU but a 32-bit OS, because the 64-bit versions of Vista and Windows 7 can’t load the older hardware drivers from Windows XP. Because of this, our installer program on Windows actually checks the CPUID instruction and won’t install on a 32-bit machine. So it won’t ever install on a 32-bit only system.
