8.95 tar file?

My installation of 8.0.2 is having about full on my disk and is suddenly giving me CPU troubles and EAC3 problems. I thought it best to start fresh with the brand new beta (I never got 8.2.5 to work with my built in IR receiver) but I'm having an awful time trying to get my Niveus PC to boot from USB. I cant remember how I originally installed OpenELEC before moving over via tar - its been 5 years or so.

Is there an x86 tar file of the beta? I've searched everywhere and only found a link for the Wetek installation.

I never heard of a Niveus PC but with most computers, you press the F12 key during boot to select boot order.

What CPU does your PC have ?

They were custom WMC PCs during the Vista and early W7 era. Its got a T8300 CPU and an Nvidia GT430 in it.

When I try telling it to boot from USB to defaults to the SSD with my existing LE installation on it, and when I try to extract the img.gz file to a DVD I keep getting invalid file errors.

Have you tried to enter the PC's BIOS screen and changing the boot order ?

Did you try pressing F12 during boot ?

you can use the img.gz to update, .tar files are not needed anymore to update !
