I have a Toshiba satellite crrently has Window 10 loa. I downloaded 64 Bit Kali Linux 2018.1 and when I try to install from a USB I get, "There was a problem reading data from the CD-ROM. Please make sure it is in the drive. If retrying does not work, you should check the integrity of your CD-ROM.
Pls , I need a help.
Thanks.



I tried mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom
but it doesn't work, and it show this message below.

          Go back to your computer and use Rufus to create a bootable USB drive from the Kali Linux ISO. Plug it back into your Toshiba and boot from your USB. That should work.



          EDIT: This is very, very important to anyone else who has this issue. You need to have Rufus work in DD mode, not ISO mode. If it's ISO mode it won't work properly!

            go to execute shell



            mkdir /usb
            mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /usb
            mount /usb /cdrom


            these three lines solved the problem
            note: using Rufus in iso mode
