Hi Mark,<br>
<br>
Are you referring to the YouTube video I sent out about a week ago?
It wasn't a good video to learn how to 'burn' the .iso file to a USB
drive. Sorry if that caused confusion.<br>
<br>
What program are you using to write the .iso to the USB drive?<br>
<br>
Typically Rufus (windows only) will take care of the syslinux files
for you. Though dd on Linux should have worked as well.<br>
<br>
With older motherboards sometimes the USB3.0 ports don't work well
with booting. Have you tried using a 2.0 port (and drive for that
matter)?<br>
<br>
It feels like (from what I read) that the fault is probably on how
the .iso file was 'burned' to the USB drive.<br>
<br>
Let us know how this goes for you!<br>
<br>
Jared<br>

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, <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.ami.com">www.ami.com</a>)
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.
