-So, let's look for any gparted-livecd ISO file in the current directory. -I found gparted-livecd-0.3.4-8.iso. It will be mounted to prepare the usb stick Currently creating directory and mounting ISO... (for i in gparted-livecd*.iso; do mkdir /tmp/gparted | mount -o loop /tmp/gparted;done) mount: -o loop: option not supported -Where is mounted your usb stick, please ? It can be something like /mnt/usb or /media/disk1. -n -Type the full path, please : /dev/disk2s1/ It seems you're wrong : either nothing is mounted on /dev/disk2s1/, either at least two devices are mounted on it ! -Please run the script again after you identify the right path, and correct the problem.
