I know there a tons of threads about installing XBMC live from a bootable USB thumb drive onto an Acer Revo 3610 and other platforms. I have read tons of threads, forums, blogs, walkthoughs, etc. to no avail.
Whenever I try to boot from a bootable USB thumb drive, I get an error message "remove disk or media and press any key to continue."
Here are the steps I took:
1. My bios appears to be the latest version
2. I manually changed the graphics memory - UMA to 256k (some of the screenshots show iGPU in this space but mine says UMA).
3. I looked for the tag line regarding revoboot but it is not in my bios. My advanced options does not list that (I have seen it on some screen shots).
4. I changed the bios to boot to the removable drive first and then the HDD
5. Boot system and press f12
6. Select thumb drive to boot from.
7. Get error message listed above
I created the bootable thumb drive by doing the following:
1. Downloaded the last stable iso version of XBMClive from XBMCfreaks (v9.11?)
2. Downloaded unetbootin
3. Ran unetbootin and selected the XBMC live iso as the disk image.
4. Chose my thumb drive as the "type"
I have tried several times to get this to work and I get the same error message every time. Any help would be appreciated.
