At first I wasn't concerned when Deepin 15.1 32bit would not install on a Dell Inspiron 531 with a dual core AMD processor. It would start to load the Deepin logo then freeze.

Then I tried to install Deepin 15.1 32bit on a Dell Dimension E521 last night and it gave me some sort of disk or boot error. This Dell also has a dual core AMD processor.

The thumb drive I was attempting to use was created with Deepin Boot Maker. I have used it on several other computers and it worked and Deepin installed just fine.

Both of the pc's boot just fine with UBCD 2.? LIVE (bootable usb) which is a debian-based diagnostic distro, and both boot just fine from usb into Xubuntu 14.04.4 32bit.

I thought I'd try making a bootable thumbdrive of Deepin 15.1.1 with Unetbootin, but that was a failure.

Thoughts?

Suggestions?

Yes I do not use Unethbootin either. But in twoguntoms case he also tried with Deepin Boot Maker. and had no problems with installing on other computers. So he may want to check specifications of these older computers

Have you installed before on this computer ? Is there a video card installed ? And have you checked the BIOS version on this computer ?

I have installed Windows 7 on it, and I believe I updated bios to the most recent version after the W7 install. Graphics are integrated on the motherboard

So on the Dell insprion 531 has enough Ram with a older AMD processor and you have not installed Linux before on. Was this a working computer on win 7 ? If the Flash driver made with Deepin Boot Maker works okay on a different computer I would not mess with Unetbootin. Maybe you need to test your ram And at what point does the Deepin logo freeze on the flash drive or after the install ?

Now, what does NOT need to be on that usb? I'm thinking that Deepin Boot Maker zip needs to be removed, and what else?

And is "ISO Master" the program/app I nned to use to do so?

It appears that these 2 pc's in question may be picking up on the zip file and it is interupting the normal process of installing... I'm still guessing at this point, but Deepin is the ONLY bootable usb that fails to run correctly

Correction if made with the Deepin Boot Maker there are the 2 locked files I had made mine from the terminal with dd commands.
But still I would erase the flash drive and after its determined that it is working don't change it.And there is no need to start deleteing files that the Deepin Boot Maker created

Please it is not necessary to start deleting files that you don't think are needed that the Deepin Boot Maker created.
