Re: Installing jessie on laptop from usb live iso
After rereading the last response i got, i see why their issue is similar, but the solution cant be used here because even if i had wheezy installed before, im past the point where the hdd gets overwritten with random data.

Bar is about 95 percent full and says retreiving file 1 of 2 when it switches to a windows saying :: /media/cdrom/:Please insert the disc labeled: 'Debian GNU/Linux 8 _jessie_-Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20160402-2159' in the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter. Wtf.....i dont have a cd drive, my hdd is now wiped and encrypted, and any attempt to say download the net iso or the cd1 kde iso and install it on another usb using the cp debain.iso dev/sbX command recommended in the manual for burning a iso from within linux fails saying i dont have permission for sdX, sdc in this case, although i can save files to it in a normal fashion. What gives here? What can i possibly do short of buying an external reader and locating cds, which isnt going to happen!

Would something along the lines of
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/01/msg01117.html
help? This is to get it to use the USB stick where it's
trying to use a CDROM (but with the installer rather than
a live CD).
Apologies if that's not your problem.
Cheers,
David.
