I think Live is only for Linux.
For windows download this and run.

It should not matter. It is booting up to Linux if it is one of the ISOs that do that, you should have booted up to the operating system with Chirp pre-installed. Did you actually burn the ISO, or did you simply copy the ISO file onto a disk?

I see. That disk is supposed to boot a bare bones version of linux to run chirp?

So, sometimes you have to get in the bios of the computer to tell it to boot from cd instead of your hard drive.
Can you boot from a windows installation dvd for example?

Some computers you can tap a key like the space bar and it will cause it to boot from CD. Otherwise, a boot menu like holding F12 will offer booting from CD/DVD. But typically it is set to boot from disk by default.

Why not download Chirp and run the executable then? There's Chirp made to run in Windows or Linux. Glenn ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Wage To: Discussion of CHIRP Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2018 1:19 PM Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Chirp Live CD won't boot

Hello Carl,
That's an excellent way to get CHIRP working. The only problem is that if your radio is a newer one, without updating CHIRP on the CD, you won't have the most recent radios added to CHIRP.
On most of my computers, if I push F12 I get to a screen that says "Boot Options" and I must select BOOT DEVICE ORDER.
I have to arrange the devices so that DVD/CD comes before Hard Drive. Sometimes when you exit, the screen asks "SAVE?" and I say "YES" - it tells you what to press if you want to save. Sometimes it is F10 to save, sometimes it is just a choice in a menu.
Have your CHIRP CD already in the CD/DVD drive.
Then next time you boot, there will be a slight delay in booting - your computer will be searching for the DVD/CD you told it to boot from before Hard Drive and if it's there, you will boot from it.
If you get an error message, open the Computer into Windows, and go to Windows Explorer, or even better "My Computer" and look for the DVD/CD.
Open the device, if you just see just one file but no folders, chances are you just wrote the iso file to the CD instead of using a CD burning application - this page has info on that.
https://www.lifewire.com/mount-burn-iso-windows-8-10-3506971
This page has a picture of what to select, it might be better because you can see the choice "burn disk image" which is what you want to do.
So again do these steps.
Check the CD in My Computer, if you just have one file, you probably burned the iso file to the CD instead of buring the iso image. You'll have to throw away the CD and follow the steps in the articles I've given you.
If you have many files and folders, then you've burnt the iso image to a CD. That's good.
Then go shut off the computer and try different keys to get into BIOS. You can only get into BIOS SETUP for a second or so while the computer boots, you see the logo on the screen, start pressing the F12 or F2 or DEL key repeatedly. Sometimes you have to try it twice because it's a very small window to enter.
Sometimes it is F2, F12 DEL or other key. One computer here it's F2, a different computer requires DEL and this laptop requires F12. Search for the name of your computer and BIOS setup and you'll no doubt find the right combination.
Then change the BOOT ORDER so that DVD/CD is before Hard drive. I put USB first then DVD/CD then hard drive.
Then save the setup, sometimes it's a menu selection, sometimes F10 or other key.
Reboot and then if the CD is good, you will boot into CHIRP.
Hope that helps.

Carl,
The CHIRP Live CD uses a very old version of Linux that may not be compatible with modern hardware. You would be better off using a live version of Ubuntu "burned" to a USB flash drive with unetbootin set to provide a partition for persistence and then install CHIRP. I've done this with Linux Mint and it works fine. The thing I didn't like was the fact that it always had an "Install" shortcut on the desktop that was just begging for someone to accidentally or intentionally wipe the hard drive.
Jim
It would take quite a lot of mistakes to wipe the drive, I think you have to okay about three or four screens before it actually writes to the drive, and even then, I believe the default is to install along side the existing operating system.
