Please check if the USB drive is healthy and try to clean the partition with your computer and try again. If the problem persists, you should be able to install TOS with it as well. If necessary, please contact the technical support mailbox.

Hey Guys,
Been playing around making an usb stick for a F5 221.Tryed it on different hardware and it works. Openeing the GUI i get the message "piracy is illegal".
I can get in the Linux terminal and see all files etc etc. Any ideas what is causing this? Is this some hardware or something in the software.
