Hi everyone,

Newbie here. I have downloaded Debian 32bit Disk Image iso file and 
burned to USB drive but it will not boot. What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

Peter

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately there are many things that can go wrong here.  Off the top of
my head.

   1. Is your computer really 32 bit?  That would make it quite old.  Most
   computers can/should run the x64 instead.
   2. Did you check the checksum of the image after you downloaded it?
   Important.
   3. Did the burn actually succeed?  Try a different burning tool.
   Ideally use dd on another linux machine
   4. Does the USB work fine in a different computer?
   5. Is the BIOS set to boot from USB?
   6. Have you tried a different USB stick? Weirdly, this can really matter.

If you followed some instructions it would be good to provide them here so
we know what you did with more detail.

Kind regards, Hoolio

PS: You may or may not get replies to this list; it all depends who's
around and who cares enough to reply.

What is your device - brand, make, model? What OS did you run on your device before?

Hi Peter
Have you read this?

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/
If you can it is easier to "burn" to a USB on a Linux machine; A RasPi
will do.
AFAIK a stock Windows box won't read a Debian install ISO, let alone
write one.

PS; my health is looking not as bad as first diagnosis.

If you want a tool that will handle writing a Debian ISO on Windows. Use
Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/
