In between, I decided to use MX 17 as a temporary stopgap (which is the only distro on my hard drive at present) in preparation to overwrite the hard drive and replace MX 17 with MX 19.1.

However, now that you've written instructions on/have done 2 videos on how to install MX 19.1 to my stick in fat32 format using the DD command line method, I'll proceed with your instructions, but only proceeding with the second and final steps after I've reported back to you about the first steps, as suggested by you.

I suppose I could have followed it through with MX's Live USB Creator, Balena Etcher or an equivalent, and it might have been the 1 May ISO Image (as by 1 May, and since during April, my other USB stick with the GRUB faults has been formatted).

It was due to the MX Live USB Creator only quoting 'February 15 2020' (as by then, my USB stick was/still is blank, but in fat32 format) that I was reluctant to complete the process as I got the impression it was going to download my 15 February USB stick version with GRUB errors. I deleted the erroneous GRUB bootloader fault download of 19.1 in April on the first stick, as it served no purpose, then used a different USB stick for my 1 May attempt to get MX 19.1 working firstly to a USB stick then my hard drive, before which I hadn't realized it needed to be in fat32 format.Д«efore discovering that I needed to format my by now blank USB stick (different stick to the one with the since wiped GRUB bootloader fault) to fat32, 1 May was the first time I used the new stick, only with the 1 May ISO image.

The most recent date I attempted to install MX 19.1 to my hard drive was 1 May. 15 February is the exact date that I attempted to install MX 19.1 to my hard drive, but the GRUB bootloader fault allowed me to run 19.1 from my USB stick, but not to my hard drive.

If that does not automatically mount the stick, look in thunar file manager for the stick, and see it shows as empty with eg 60 GB spare.Д¬onfirm back here, and i'll rustle up the dd command for youД¬lick to expand.Maybe. that will leave you with a stick with one only partition, /dev/sdb1 as FAT-32, probably shows as about 59 GiBД¬LOSE GPARTED, wait a few seconds until activity ceases, eject the stick, wait a few seconds and insert the stick. when that finishes, choose Partition -new or format to, and choose fat32 and apply changes go to Device in menu at top and choose create partition table, you may have choices which include MSDOS & GPT, choose MSDOS and confirm, it will run itself if the stick is not empty, delete anything on it and confirm With the stick, just format it to FAT-32, using gparted in your existing install using the following steps: have you tried dd from terminal, to burn? if not, do not use it until i get info from you to give you the exact command/sДў.
