Kali linux CDROM

[Pi31415]

I'm trying to install kali linux and I get issue Cd rom not detected. So I tried doing this "Mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom" But I managed to get device or resource busy, but most of the time no such director??? anyways I give up, I tried dd instead of iso on rufus, that also didn't work, I tried that with ntfs also didn't work. I give up

What's your question? Do you need help making a bootable disc or installing Kali? At what point do you get this error?

 

Also, don't install Kali. It's designed to run as a live environment and installing it to your hard drive doesn't make sense.

At which point in the installation?

You want to go into a terminal, you can use ctrl + alt + f2 for that. Once you are there login if it requests you to do that and type

mkdir /cdrom 

to create a folder called cdrom in the root directory. then you want to mount your USB stick into that folder, for this you will have to first identify your USB stick. You can either run

lsblk

or

fdisk -l

to get a list of connected storage devices. The main disk usually is /dev/sdaX (where x is the partition number) and the rest are other connected drives.

Now that you have identified your USB stick you can mount it to the folder we created before.

 

for this use:

mount -vfat /dev/sdbX

where X is your partition number in the correct USB device.

Once you have done this you can go back to the installation menu (It should be either ctrl + alt + f1 or ctrl + alt + f7 I can't remember well now) and retry the installation

 

Cheers!
