[nmglug] Fwd: HDD > SSD

[M]

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?

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.
