I have been trying to get my new HTPC to run XBMC Live for the past couple of days, booting from USB.
I've searched the forums (and have tried a few ideas), however I am having real trouble getting to XBMC.
It won't boot from either the CD nor the USB key into the actual interface. I choose option 3 (Intel) when asked and it shows the 'loading' splash screen and thats it...
It did manage to boot into the interface once. However, (and I changed nothing aside from the Audio settings) upon reboot it went back to the blank screen.
There are two files on the USB key - restrictedDrivers.amd.img and restrictedDrivers.nvidia.img.
Should there be one for Intel?
Just to note - I have never used Linux before. I have no knowledge whatsoever of its workings/processes.
Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66GHz (Retail 775) Wolfdale core
Asus P5E-VM HDMI iG35 Socket 775 Motherboard
Arianet 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM - 667MHz
LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray/HD DVD-ROM, DVDRW SATA
2GB Sandisk Cruzer
Antec Fusion Remote Media Center Case
