I tried F1 through to F5 until I found the correct combinationįrom the menu tell it to mount the CDROM, if asked choose /dev/sdc1 and /cdrom. Note: Kali told me to press ( Alt+ F1), but this didn't work. 2.If this fails, quit the installation and select open a shell option from the window Enter the command below mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom This is for manually mounting the cd rom Type exit. Switch back to the installer ( CTRL+ Alt+ F5) Answer (1 of 7): 1.Mostly it can be done by removing the usb device and inserting it after sometime. Mount the Kali CD with the mount command: ~ # mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdc1 /cdromĬheck the contents of /cdrom are as expected: ~ # ls /cdromĪutorun.inf efi g2ldr.mbr md5sum.txt win32-loader.ini Also you can see the storage type is iso9660, not vfat Note: I have shortened my list to the relevant row. Get a list of devices with blkid: ~ # blkid Note: Kali told me to press ( Alt+ F2), but this didn't work

When you get the CDROM not found error follow these steps: THIS PROBLEM CAUSED MAKE BOOTABLE USB USING RUFUS PROGRAM THEN DO NOT USE RUFUS AGAIN BUT USE LINUX TIME SUGGESTION. I eventually figured it out, the issue is the file format is not vfat, but iso9660. I tried all the answers here and more google results, but none worked.

IF the ISO is hybrid or has DD mode, Rufus will prompt you to choose ISO or DD mode AFTER clicking start button. Then click on the folder icon and search for kali ISO image and. Install this Win Disk manager and then in the folder option, go and choose the USB option in the external devices part. Before that plug in the USB to your device and make sure that it is well connected.

With Rufus (v 3.x), you can not explicitly choose DD mode. Download the Win disk manager tool from this link here. If image is copied using this method, you don't need to go to terminal and manually mount it.

Not sure if Unetbootin offers the same option. If you use Rufus (v 2.x) to burn the ISO to USB drive, make sure the option is " DD Image" in " Create a bootable disk using". Hit escape, type install, hit enter, skip CD drive. Unplug your USB from system and re insert it When the Window shows CDROM couldn't be mounted , Then press ALT- F1 to go back, continue and re-select "detect CDROM" Note : If you got problems making the directory /cdrom, disable the CD-rom player in BIOS or disconnect the cableĪfter executing mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom, cd into the /cdrom directory and do an ls to see if the files are there. You could resolve the error by repeating the steps :Ĭreate the directory cdrom directly on the root of the file system:
