  52. First of all, make sure you make your USB pendrive by using this method,
  53. http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install. Other methods my
  54. not work properly.
  55.  
  56. Or, you may consider to format the pendrive in FAT32 before making it Kali.

  62. Hello Samiux from the very beginning I followed those steps I still had the
  63. problem of not installing Kali Linux amd 64.
  64.  
  65. I only followed the directions under "Preparing for the USB copy" and "Kali
  66. Linux Live USB Install Procedure"
  67.  
  68. I will tell you exactly what I did
  69.  
  70. first I downloaded my Kali Linux amd 64 from my 30GB USB from my desktop windows
  71. vista 32 bit Operating System then I got Win32 Disk Imager and I click the
  72. option "write" then I transfer that to my Laptop which unlike my desktop this is
  73. a Linux based Operating System 64 bit this is where I will install Kali Linux
  74. amd 64 bit.Sadly I was not successful.
  75.  
  76. And as MrBlackhat said: "it runs live mode perfect."
  77.  
  78.  
  79. To look at the results of the commands "dmesg" "lsmod" and "lspci" please
  80. refer to the first post I made.
  81.  
  82. And yes Samiux I am using FAT32
  83.

  88. Download the Kali Linux iso to the hard drive of your computer. If you are
  89. using Windows system, you can follow the procedure of installing Kali to the USB
  90. driver at http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install. Follow
  91. the "Imaging Kali on a Windows Machine" to make a USB bootable Kali Linux which
  92. can be used for installation and live operation.
  93.  
  94. Make sure your USB pendrive is 4GB in size or larger.
  95.

  100. sorry that I am banned from Kali Linux forum and channel for the reason at
  101. http://samiux.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-is-going-on-for-kali-linux.html
  102.  
  103. Therefore, I will not use Kali Linux any more.

  111. Samiux from the very get go even before I reported this bug,I had already
  112. followed those directions: "Kali Linux Live USB Install Procedure" "Preparing
  113. for the USB copy"
  114.  
  115. But anyway I think the best thing to do is to burn a DVD-R with an iso file
  116. and not use a USB.
