I built my first HTPC and tried installing XBMCbuntu. I followed the instructions for installing via USB flash drive by using that program to "burn" the ISO onto my USB flash drive (after formatting it in FAT32). I was able to successfully boot from the USB device and it gave me the options to install or boot from usb, etc. I put to install XBMCbuntu. It went to the screen with the flashing dots, never asked any questions, and eventually brought me to the main XBMC page. So I turned the computer off, took the usb stick out, and turned it back on booting from my SSD drive (which is the only drive in the HTPC). It just takes me to the screen saying I need a proper bootable device. I have tried it several times with the same results.
So now I'm a bit confused. I was expecting the install process to give me an option to format the SSD drive. The SSD drive hasn't been formatted since I bought it. I tried it with two different USB flash drives and it just takes me to the main XBMC screen but doesn't appear to put it on the SSD drive.
What am I missing?
AMD A6-3500
ASRock A75M-ITX
Corsair Force Series 3 60gb internal SSD
4 gigs ram
Thanks!
