check_debian_iso reads the ISO image size from the medium in order to know where to stop checksumming. That's because most media offer more readable blocks than are occupied by the copied ISO image. In this case, there was no ISO 9660 superblock to see. > > rufus tried to install syslinux instead of grub2 Steve McIntyre wrote: > Then you were definitely using ISO mode in Rufus.

The FAQ item https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#write-usb still only mentions win32diskimager. Given the problems of shirish to effectively use Rufus in DD mode, somebody will have to take the plight of exercising the procedure and giving sufficient hints about how to avoid the unwanted ISO mode. (It's confusing that ISO mode yields a non-ISO 9660 filesystem on the USB stick whereas DD mode yields an ISO 9660.) I got an MS-Windows allergy with consequential wallet constipation. So i cannot volunteer for mere medical reasons. Have a nice day :) Thomas
