Hi community.
I’ve been trying to install OpenMandriva on my pc but it’s been imposiible, at the moment.
Choosing Live mode I can reach to a window for selecting the language, but it starts flashing and always comes back to the selection window, I don’t have enough time to make a selection.
If I try to install instead, at the moment of selecting the language I get a console screen warning about external connections.
¿Any idea about this?¿is this a common issue?
Thanks.

Thanks for your answer ben79.
Yesterday I tried again.
I dowloaded de ISO (64 bits) image and burned it into a usb with the tool provided by linux mint (usb image writer).
This time it was different. After selecting install OpenMandriva all I can see is a OpenMandriva wallpaper like this one:

That’s all, the computer freezes and I havve to restar it manually.
Sorry if it’s not enough info but it’s all I can say at the moment and thanks again.
Hi, i get the same problem with Lx 3 and Lx 3.1 and i have use rosa imagewriter ! (see french support post)
Note that in the two version the live session work fine just problem with calamares, it don’t start in Lx 3 and stay running in the step of “looking for pc informations” after choosing language and keyboard. I will try with the LX 3.1 burn on a DVD, perhaps i will get more chance …

Hi i have finally install openmandriva. The problem was that one of my hard disc get more than 4 primary partitions. i have succeed to install the os when i have disconnect the disc.
I know if a drive has MBR partition table it can have only 4 Primary partitions. Most newer computers have UEFI and GPT partition table where a drive can have theoretically unlimited partitions.
