Can't create bootable usb

    Hello everyone.

    I had a legacy generic x64 install (phenom 2 if you need to know)

    and i ran into difficulties trying to boot, i have a samba/mysql setup and library always came empty

    tried deleting .kodi to start fresh and didnt work, so i went for a reinstall, its an sd to usb adapter so i figured power outages destroyed my install

    So now i use the LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Win32.exe for creating a bootable sd, i tried the one i had before an other usb sticks i had around

    Looks like my motherboard can't work with the bootable sd i made, tested on a laptop, and worked fine, just doesnt even finish post on my phenom 2

    I tried following another thread that sounded like had some of the same problems

    LibreELEC Legacy boot

    Hello does not speak English, I write through the compiler. Nowhere I can not find information on how to install LibreELEC normal PC without UEFI. If I create a bootable USB flash according to the instructions, created the GPT partition.
    My laptop LCD without handles playback and H265 in fullHD, I have no reason to change it.
    PS: So far Kodibuntu function does not work anymore and mainly contains needlessly whole person who starts a long time.
    PPS: I can not at all with Linux. I can handle just…

    they suggested i do a syslinux bootable and copy the files into this for install but didnt work either, i get a 'error in mount_storage: could not mount UUID=(the short one)

    so im stuck and out of ideas

    can you guys help me keep this old pc out of the land fill?

    thank you

    OK, i didnt find a way to boot this usb from my old pc

    But i ran the installer in 'legacy' mode in my laptop's bios, and this created an sd that boots in my old phenom 2

    so in case anyone needs it:

    1) Create the usb installer as indicated with LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.Win32.exe

    2) Boot this installer from a legacy bios option (or csm idk)

    3) install to another usb/sd (i had to wait for the install/live/run option to plug my second usb or my laptop freaked out)

    4) take this usb into your old pc

    Reinstall the legacy version of LE that worked before, then stop Kodi, manually copy the latest update file to /storage/.update/ and then erase the /storage/.kodi folder and reboot. On restart you should end up with a (legacy) bootloader that works and clean Kodi setup.
