It is explained in the resource section of this ClearOS site.

ClearOS USB Installer

Scroll down to the Windows part.

I use this help section to create a bootable usb install stick of ClearOS with a Mac. It always works flawless. Never tried the Windows way...

Hi Guys , hope this can help someone having the same prob , I just made a clearOS (7.3) boot flash with - https://rufus.akeo.ie/ and it worked first time , just set the iso to write to dd image and thats it , I tried all the methods shown on this form and others and failed so if you not really sure of what the hell you doing try rufus boot loader.

If Rufus is working that this should be aded to the resource section. Thanks for reporting!

No promises but Win32diskimager may work. It uses something like dd when burning the img files but I don't know if you'd need to rename the .iso to .img or if the option of burning the .iso directly will work. I've had mixed success with this in the past.

I've been struggling with this for a few hours. From many different articles on CentOS7 installs from USBs and cygwin help files I found this to work from Windows 10 64 bit. Rufus, Linuxlive Unet all failed me this time.

1. Install Cygwin 64bit
2. Run Cygwin as administrator
3. Type "cat /proc/partitions"
4. figure out which disk is your usb (it will show letter next to partition - mine showed F next to sdb1)
5. Type this in "dd bs=4M if=/cygdrive/c/Users/James/Downloads/ClearOS7.iso of=/dev/sdb" (substitute the file path for your clearosISO; do not put the 1 next to sdb; and BE VERY SURE ITS YOUR USB, as dd will write over whichever harddrive you put there) (Note: Cygwin mounts your windows c: as /cygdrive/c/ and d as /cygdrive/d/ etc)

It would be nice to see some user friendly official USB installation support from ClearOS, everybody hates DVDs. I threw out my stack of blank disks 6 years ago.

Also worth noting the installation UI is very different (much better in my opinion) and the process for creating a software raid installation has changed. This time I only needed to create the 2 swap partitions for RAID 1, then one RAID partition and select two disks. For ClearOS 6 you had to create the partitions and then the RAID disk with the separate partitions (rather than just selecting the disks.

I've been struggling with this all day, just bought a subscription to ClearOS 7 Home (was using ClearOS Community 6 before). Had a few issues with 6 installing via USB, 7 has been a nightmare. Who uses DVDs anymore?

I'm getting the same thing using the ClearOS 7.1 Community .iso

Every version of ClearOS/ClarkConnect gets more complicated and error prone. I'm not sure why I've bothered with it for this long, been using it since CC0.7
