Imaging Surface Pro 4 using Fog USB bootdisk
-
@mandrade Have you removed the device, replugged it back after about 5 seconds, then press the Enter key as it suggests?
-
Beyond that message, you may need to follow the original instructions you used to create the first FOG USB Bootdisk.
-
keyboard doesn’t seem to work. Yeah tried that!
Perhaps I should try connecting an external keyboard. Will give that a try and will get back to you.

Further help, in case you need it:

-
And the only ISO FOG creates is within /tftpboot/ipxe.iso (maybe this is what you were looking for?)
-
I tried to follow this article but am unable to create the bootdisk. Granted I could be doing something wrong, I am a noob when it comes to Linux.
-
You tried easy or hard way?
-
Tried with external keyboard no diffrence.
-
Trying to catch you in chat.
-
Tried both like I said Rookie
-
Did you get this working?
There are 2 different ways of booting a device from a usb stick.
- Via iPXE into the FOG menu (easy or harder way tutorials)
- Via placing the FOS engine on the USB and booting from there.
I’ve been working with another forum member on option 2 and it seems both have the same issue with hinfo.txt file not being created, or being created incorrectly.

@george1421 We did get this working.
ALthough the problem specifically here with not network booting had to do more with the fact the keyboard was not recognizable.
