Installing draws image
|
Steve McGrane <temporarilyoffline@...>
Douglas, It sounds like you're trying to write the image from your Pi? Can you issue an `lsblk` command and tell us anything useful about the drives it shows that you know? (like which ones you don't want to overwrite for example) From there we can help you construct a command that should work to burn the image. Failing that, etcher on a "real" computer is your best bet. - Steve

Douglas, A few points:
It does sound like you may have a defective card, it is hard to say. Many of the image writing programs have the ability to verify the writes. Also, since the partitions/filesystem (except /boot) are foreign to Windows and MacOS, you probably won't see them from your PC/Mac.

First, thanks to everyone for helping. I may be missing something. I keep getting the same read only errors whether or not the card is in the locked position.
Sunday night and last night i used diskimager, for some reason it didn't work. After attempting to boot the pi on sunday and nothing happening, i check the card on the pc, it had nothing on it and said it was empty. I tried again last night, and still nothing. The card is a pny 32gb micro sdhc card and looks to be a class 1 card. I formatted to fat 32 before writing the image to the card. I used the same computer as when i first wrote the raspbian. I'm thinking its possibly the card or maybe even the user.

Also, sudo "command" runs command as root. If you want to switch to root, use the command su

When using umount, you must unmount a partition, like /dev/sdb1 . You can't mount/unmount a block device, only partitions Steve KC1AWV

Are you saying it's working, or not working? One more thing... If you're still getting the read-only file system error, then check to see if the physical switch on the side of the SD card is in the write position. If not, then there's your problem.

Unmounted
pi@Lakelandpi:~$ umount /dev/sdb
umount: /dev/sdb: not mounted

Make sure the volume on the card is unmounted first.

I changed to the /dev/sdb, when i do a look up for devices, it shows sdb as the the 32 gb device, which what the card is im writing to. The card in the pi is sixteen gb. It gives me access denied when i do sdb. Granada Estates Neighborhood Watch

That error message dd is giving you is correct. You can't write an image file to a directory. You need to write an image file to the device representing the flash card. You want of=/dev/X where "X" is the name of the device. It could be sdd or mmcblk0. You'll have to ls your /dev directory to know for sure. Hope this helps. 73, -Dave W3DJS

I am stuck. I have gotten to the point of installing it via command line, but it just keeps saying that the card is a directory. Here is the command: dd bs=4M if=draws_beta9.img of=/media/pi/8B6D-99CF Error: dd: failed to open '/media/pi/8B6D-99CF': Is a directory This is after i have downloaded the file and unzipped it.
