So im trying to download tails and didnt get far without hitting a problem i downloaded the iso image and the usb installer selected tails from the drop down list now i have to select the iso image to from where i saved it i saved it to my desktop but when i click browse and it brings up my files its not there but on my desktop its defiantly there does anyone know why its not showing up?
I looked at the screenshots on the tails website: https://tails.boum.org/install/win/usb/index.en.html and it stated that the name of the iso file must be the same of the selected linux distribution from the drop down menu. [direct link to the screenshot https://tails.boum.org/install/inc/screenshots/uui.png] please make sure that is the case.
are you also sure that you are looking at the desktop of the right user? maybe try moving your iso file to another directory [like your downloads folder or as BurbankJoe wrote to the root of c:]. it could also be that the list of files in that directory was not refreshed [e.g. you started the program, clicked on browse, moved the iso to the desktop and the list of files on your desktop was not refreshed]. so try restarting your computer and see if you can the iso file now.
however do not forget to verify the tails iso you downloaded.
