Cannot boot from the LiveUSB memory stick

[Noel_Lewis]

Hello all,

Am signed up for the RH Certification exam in a week, but I can't get my Live USB stick to boot up.

I am using Windows 11 on a Thinkpad Extreme X1 laptop and used the Fedora Writer to write into the memory stick successfully. It wrote the rhrexboot.iso file successfully to the memory stick.  I tried to boot up using the mem stick but it just doesn't recognize the USB stick at all.  Tried multiple USB ports and another new USB stick, same thing. It just doesn't boot up from the USB stick.

I saw some older posts where someone else ran into the ame problem and suggested using an older rhrexboot-2020-08.iso file, which I did, but no luck with this one either.

Also, after the Fedora Media writer software wrote (successfully) to the USB mem stick, I can't use my Windows thinkpad trackpoint anymore.  That doesn't work now after writing into the USB stick.

Any idea how to resolve this please?  Or how do I open a RH ticket?

Thanks.
Noel Lewis

Below link is still downloading rhrexboot-2023-06.iso which is older version hence rhel didnt release any new iso to fix the issues raised.

Even the comment is dated from 01-30-2024 10:35 AM - New Remote Exam ISO just released. Its been more than 8 months.

Why I am raising the issue is because this iso is getting burned to usb drive successfully but usb drive is not bootable, I tried with multiple usb's and read all comments from link as well. Red hat should test their iso before releasing. As of now I am dropping my idea of doing any rhel exam in the near future until such issues are sorted. I am using Dell Lattitude 5450 Windows 11 Laptop RAM 32GB.

Hello BS4
I responded to your duplicate post already here

Btw, I doubt your Dell Latitude 5450 has 32GB of RAM. According to the specs on the Dell pages the model can have 8 or 16 GB maximum. Please check

Please contact Red Hat Remote exam technical support for an assitance, I am sure you find a way together.
