Image For Linux 64bit install to Linux Mint

Post by brucebne »

I have to install IFL to Linux Mint.
I downloaded the latest version.
I am a registered owner of the BootIt Collection which includes IFL.
I have installed the software after installing 32bit library components.

I can run Imagel file successfully, but I do not get a prompt to enter my registration details, rather I get the prompt this is an evaluation purpose only.

How can I register IFL?

OK, I went through all procedures again, from logging into terabyte website to download upgrades, to reinstalling. This time I got a prompt for user name pwd.

However, the registration details are not being saved. I keep getting asked for them each time I open IFL.

Further, when I try to backup a partition, I get the message there are "No usable HD found"

I achieved this by going back even further in the installation. i.e. I reinstalled the 32 bit libraries, and then rebooted before reinstalling IFL.

However, I am still getting the message "No usable HD found" when trying to do backups.

OK, resolved the "No usable HD found" issue.

Explored old threads here, and it was an issue with the 'user' (me) not being part of the permissions group "disks".
A user needs this permission to get full access to all partitions on a HDD, before IFL will allow backup and restore operations.

Explanation and solution is here

I resolved the issue by adding myself to the group 'disk', with the following command in terminal
sudo adduser bruce disk
I then logged out and in to activate.
