Hello.
I just created my own OS. I made a bootable .img file. I used Rufus. Then, I booted from the BIOS via USB. It failed and just booted to hard drive.
This is an Acer Aspire One. It says USB HDD and something like that. It happened once with an old version of DOS. How do I make it work?! My OS won't boot.
Please help
Andrew.

If you are in linux, can you try sudo dd if=name.iso of=/dev/sdx && sync
sdx is your flash drive, name.iso is input your file. but I'm not sure with it'll work with .img files.

How exactly did you do that?

Uhh... that works. I've tried it before.

I am not sure if Octocontrabass was questioning whether it was possible, or just asking you to explain the process you used. Regardless of which he meant, it is a valid question (certainly in the latter case, and also in the former if he didn't think it was possible), and we will probably need a meaningful answer if we are to give you any advice on the matter.
I know several of us have been hostile toward you in the past, including myself, but to be honest, you aren't giving us much reason for civility when you answer us this way. Please, explain the procedure, and we will see what we can say about it then.
