When i create bootable usb for Unity, it's fail with partitioning of usb drive.

Hi. 

I want to make a usb that can reimage Unity.

It started with below command,

./Unity-4.1.1.9138882.tgz.bin -- --reinit-dual --nolab --usbcreate=/dev/sda

 

and it failed with below messages,

2022-03-05 09:03:13 : Running from <./Unity-4.1.1.9138882.tgz.bin> tty params <--reinit-dual --nolab --usbcreate=/dev/sda>

But usb drive size is 8GB & formatted FAT32 from windows.

I don't know why it failed.

 

I was tried from Unity, but failed.

                 from Linux, but also failed.

    Hi,

    Have you tried a different USB stick? You may also want to try deleting all existing partitions in windows and then letting Unity partition it.

    I can't use image tool, because there are no " .img " file. 

    I just have a "Unity-version###.tgz.bin" file. 

    I can't find  " .img " file in a support.dell.com site.

    Can you try a different OS version and see if that works?

    I tried from Win10, Win11, Linux & Unity.  

    And my friends has same result.

    All output is that  "2022-03-05 09:05:49 : Error ocurred while parittioning device /dev/sda, verify device capacity is at least 2405 MB"

    But USB stick was 8GB & 16GB. That partition status was ok.

    In that case your best option is to call phone support.
