• Patch Lady – getting 1709 TO install

    Posted on March 11, 2018 at 01:14 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    While everyone else is wanting to keep 1709 at bay, I was wanting to get it to install on a small 32 gig hard drive.

    I had previously tried a usb flash drive, purchased and installed a SD card and neither one worked.  A good (geek) friend of mind recommended that I try using an external usb hard drive during the feature install process. I initially said to him that I had already used a flash drive and he kindly pointed out that he didn’t say to use a flash drive, he said to use an external USB hard drive.

     

    While everyone historically swears that external usb powered hard drives and flash drives are the same, clearly in this feature release update process it’s not.  When I was attempting to use either the flash drive or the SD card, I would get to a point in the install process where it would say I didn’t have enough room and I would have to prompt the system to use these devices.  When it would attempt to use them, it would fail and roll back the install.

    When I used the usb external hard drive, it never prompted me for the need for additional storage.

    After installing the update it immediately began properly installing unlike all of the previous sessions where it would stop and roll back.

    The moral of this story?  If you are like me and you DO want 1709 to install, you have a hard drive tight on space and you are having issues, go get a usb external hard drive and see if that does the trick.
