What has gone wrong with the raspberry pi installs? http://www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup/
worked at one time. I followed the directions originally over a year ago to make the images that worked. Now nothing works. Has anyone got NOOBS_v1_4_2.zip http://director.downloads.raspberrypi.o ... v1_4_2.zip to work with the instructions given? Has anyone found a way to make NOOBS work?
I tried the instructions for windows and no boot, what was there for linux, no boot as either FAT32 as the SD card came, formatted with gparted as FAT16 (4G) or FAT32 (full 16G), nothing worked. I used the windows SD formatter (defaults to FAT32) and didn't boot. Now the same systems have made cards in the past and I made three jessie images with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS just fine, but it doesn't work for NOOBS_v1_4_2.zip (using the same unzip I used for jessie). So what has gone wrong?
Can anyone point me to instructions for NOOBS_v1_4_2.zip that work in either Linux or Windows 10? I'd even even take instructions for a rasperberry pi running jessie.

It does work. You just have to format your sdcard and open the image on your PC. Then copy the files onto your sdcard.
Then your card should work.

OK, just got the Windows 10 one I made to boot. It was the B+ board I was using. I plugged the card into another B+ I had jessie running on and it booted right up, so the board has problems. It might well be any of the tries I did tonight might have worked. I guess I'll have to figure out what's wrong with the board now, red leds light, but I never saw a yellow so it's pretty basic. Maybe the contacts aren't seating to he SD card or something like that. I was making the image for that card, so maybe I'll have to get another PI2 card now (they are faster and smoother at running videos which I was going to use it for).
So if you use Windows 10, format the card like the instructions linked to in my first post, then right click on the zip file and expand it to the SD card (J:\ in my case that time) it will work. I suspect Windows8 and 8.1 would work the same. Not sure about anything before that as the internal unzip of windows might not handle it correctly.
