windows install boot error

[Harald Welkovics]

I install linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-32bit.iso from Windows with mint4win.exe
and the same with linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.iso

On next boot, I tried to make install Linux Mint like prior versions (10 and 11).
But I got this error message:

(initramfs) /sbin/mount.ntfs: line 1: ELF: not found
/sbin/mount.ntfs: line 2: * not found
/sbin/mount.ntfs: line 3: Syntax error: unexceped ")"

(the lines above maybe not exactly)

Older Versions I tested without problems.

What can i do?

Hello, Harald.

You may have missed it perhaps, yet the Linux Mint 13 release notes (http://linuxmint.com/rel_maya.php) tell us that currently it is not possible to perform a mint4win installation of the Linux Mint 13 32-bit (Cinnamon / Mate):

> 64-bit only for Mint4win
> If you're planning to use Mint4win, please choose either MATE 64-bit or Cinnamon 64-bit.
> Although Mint4win is present on all images, it is only functional with the 64-bit ISOs.

So currently there is nothing that you can do other than what you have done by filing this bug report.

Hello, Harry.

Oh, I see, you experience the same symptoms that are common when trying to perform a mint4win installation of Maya 32-bit on 64-bit as well. This idea had not occurred to me because performing a mint4win installation of Linux 13 "Maya" 64-bit worked flawlessly for me.
