Ignore the last email. Turns out I have an MSI motherboard. I build so many of these that I lose track. I can now get the USB stick to begin to boot but I get the error that it can't find or run (can't remember which) ldlinux.c32. The file is there under syslinux. Anyone familiar with this error? -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [nmglug] HDD > SSD Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2019 10:55:52 -0600 From: M <chochoms@earthlink.net> Reply-To: NMGLUG.org mailing list <nmglug@lists.nmglug.org> To: nmglug@lists.nmglug.org I created two clonezilla USB sticks using Windows 7 and then again using LINUX. Both went smoothly exactly as described in the video and in checking the USB sticks there were no errors and a physical examination indicates that all the files appear to be there. I am using a EFI Motherboard from Gigabyte for an Intel 5 processor. BIOS Date 07/22/2013 Vendor American Megatrends Inc. (American Megatrends, www.ami.com) Version V10.0 Board Name Z87-G55 (MS-7821) Vendor MSI Version 2.0 But it won't boot. It tries to, gives up, and then starts LINUX Mint or it just throws an error about there not being a system. Any ideas of what I should check? I tried all the normal things like switching back and forth from EFI to Legacy plus EFI boot and making the USB the primary boot disk manually. The beast is about 6 years old or more. Its never had anything other than Mint on it. Could it be too old? The BIOS is one of the original EFI versions (i.e, buggy and hard to manage) and I have never updated it. PS I built this computer myself and the Linux system is mounted on a 500 gig Samsung SSD and has 24 gigs of memory.
