Error 0xC0030057 (parameter is not correct) when creating persistent drive on Windows 7 #1374
Comments
Well, first of all, persistence will NOT work with Ubuntu 18.04 (yes, even 18.04.03 that was released after August 1st). This is because, for now, the fix for bug 1489855 has only been included in the 19.10 daily ISOs. [EDIT: The following is inaccurate, though it might help if you are experiencing something that looks similar on Windows 10. See my next post for the most likely explanation for the issue, which has to do with a regression introduced with commit 94e2015 that appears to have broken Windows 7 As to the At this stage I am not sure I'll ever had a good solution to avoid these error codes, but I can tell you that, if you insist, you should manage to get a persistent drive (at least, in all my testing, I have never found a drive where I couldn't add persistence with a little bit of cajoling, however I have not tested Windows 7 that much since it's about to reach end of life, so it's possible that Windows 7 is even worse than Windows 10 here...). |
Now with eoan-desktop-amd64.iso after first creating a FreeDOS drive. |
You're going to have to figure out what other process is using the drive. But I'm also re-testing on Windows 7, and I'm getting the feeling that the change I applied in 94e2015 where I switched to using The thing is, I did that because I found it made Windows 10 more stable with the creation of If other people confirm they have the same issue, I guess I'm going to have to declare that persistence creation is not compatible with Windows 7 for the time being, and try to revert that change in Rufus 3.8... I can only wish people had reported that issue during the 2 weeks BETA we had for Rufus 3.7, as it would have given me an opportunity to fix this before release. |
It is explorer saying that usb is not formated and offering: Do you want to format? |
Makes sense, though there is code in Rufus that is designed to prevent these prompts from appearing (and last time I checked, these did work on Windows 7 for me). |
I believe I have a fix for the above. It will be part of the upcoming Rufus 3.8 BUGFIX release, which I'm planning to publish in the coming week, since I consider that both this issue and #1375 are rather important matters that require an out-of-band release. If you want to test, you can download an early preview of this BUGFIX release HERE. Note that, as I push the commit with the fix, this issue will be automatically closed. But that won't prevent anyone from commenting further if you wish (for instance to report whether 3.8 works or if you still see an issue). |
I have tested succesfully the BUGFIX release!!! |
As I could not install Jack in ubuntu 19.04 I tried with ubuntu studio 19.04 from https://ubuntustudio.org/download/ I could made the usb but after booting it only shows inittransfm console |
As per what I said above:
Same applies to 19.04. In other words, NO, persistence will not work with any Ubuntu other than 19.10 at the moment. |
