Just before hitting Start

rufus 2 2 668

After hitting Start

rufus replace menu_c32

The same message apears against 'vesamenu.c32' as well.
I will attempt to 'upgrade' menu.c32 and vesamenu.c32 and report here _if_ something is amiss afterward.

EDIT:
This is the rufus.log after hitting 'Yes' on both "Replace/Upgrade" dialogue:

This is the log on finish:

ran into a no cdrom driver found issue... unsure if this is related to using those tow 'newer' files or if the .iso just didn't have a cdrom driver. never made it to the partion part of setup. trying to make the USB again without replacing/updating the two files, see what happens...

heh, yeah, and I just fragged s 32GB USB 3.0 Thumbdrive using the 'recommended' Win32 Disk Imager.
It says 'Has been known to 'rarely' corrupt...' So now I have a $25 SR install Stick, with 500kb left over for ...a hello_world.txt file, maybe...

On the plus side, using the latest build, i get past the CDROM issue and into the partitioning...

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/YOURUSBSTICK

should get you back to a proper starting point.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/YOURUSBSTICK
this is assuming I can get past the GRUB failing to install to where ever it's trying to install and make it to a terminal... unless that can be run from the pre-install terminal from the setup options/steps screen?
It goes all the way to that point... terminal failure. And I have to use my Win7 recovery to restore the Partition to be able to access anything to help me further...lol. Me thinks SteamOS is not worth the effort if the install shenanigans continue...

$ cat /proc/partitions

$ df

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sde1

returned my disk back to 29.9 GB Raw, then Formatted to defaults (FAT32, 16k) in Windows Disk Management
