Hi, all new to this forum, but I had LinuxLite 1.0.6 for a while now and I love it. Now I want to install 2.0 on my Netbook. So what I did was take out my harddrive from my netbook its a 360GB SSD, and plugged it into my PC and formatted it using Windows 7 disk management to fully erase it. Now it's NTFS. So the problem now is, when I put my harddrive back in my netbook, used the liveusb to install 2.0 it gives me the error unknown filesystem. The drive is completely erased, is there a way maybe I have to format it to ext4 in Windows using a program that will let me?  :-\ All I want is LinuxLite on my netbook as the sole OS nothing else.

Thanks all  Smile
Ok update: I have figured it out. All I did was put my SSD back in my harddrive dokker then delete the partition in windows and left it like that. Installed the SSD drive back in my netbook. I then set the harddrive to disabled in the BIOS. Then it installed fine from the USB stick. Rebooted enabled the harddrive in the BIOS and it works Big Grin
Thanks for reporting back Smile
