Hi
I have tried to install Reactos 0.4.13 release on three computers with no optical drive. By the results I guess that one is too new, only 8 years old.
On the remaining two I have managed to launch the Live CD from a USB stick using Ram drive boot method.
But, launching the Boot CD from the same USB stick, same setup only a different option in freeldr.ini gives me a Freeloader error at the end of Loading of Ramdrive.
And as it is not possible to install from the Live CD, I am unable to install.
I attach photos of the two error messages. They are very similar even though they are from two different computers
I have tried to use the ”Freeloader debug” option in Freeloader but could not see any difference or more information.
I have searched JIRA for similiar issues and found CORE-16367, but I do not know which version that issue is for, and it is closed by a request by the reporter but without solution / explanation.
The iso I have used to try to boot with I have also used for installing in Virtualbox which worked fine.
My options in freeldr.ini looks like this.
[Setup2]
BootType=ReactOSSetup
SystemPath=ramdisk(0)\
Options=/MININT /RDPATH=ReactOS-0.4.13.iso /RDEXPORTASCD
[Setup3]
BootType=ReactOSSetup
SystemPath=ramdisk(0)\reactos
Options=/MININT /RDPATH=ReactOS-0.4.13.iso /RDEXPORTASCD
[LiveCD]
BootType=Windows2003
SystemPath=ramdisk(0)\reactos
Options=/MININT /RDPATH=ReactOS-0.4.13-Live.iso /RDEXPORTASCD
Does anyone know why I am able to boot the Live CD iso but not the Boot CD iso in this setup?
Best regards
Peter

Enable screen debug output in FreeLoader (via F8) to see where the assertion happened.

Thanks for trying to help.
I have tried all options using F8 without getting any more information. But as the Freeloader debug option asks for further parameters I am not sure I have given the correct ones. Also, when selecting that option, it is not in blue text when I later select to start the BootCD menu item as most of the other options are.

Problem solved.
I realised I still had the iso:s for the 0.4.10, 0.4.11 and 0.4.12 boot cd's. They all worked when I booted from my USB.
So I downloaded the 0.4.13 boot cd again, and now it works.
