When a USBstiked-syslinux starts, it's the PC's firmare that's reading the USB ?. But once the USBsyslinux takes over, has IT also got a USB driver? So that USBsyslinux can install a different USBstik/partition? Ie. boot with stikA to install & run stikB:partition5 ? ------------ Is the following sound logic? > Do zero out the partition table first so you don't "inherit" any > badness ("dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=512 count=1 conv=sync"). > Actually before destroying the partition table, I'd zero out the &gt...

When a USBstiked-syslinux starts, it's the PC's firmare that's reading the USB ? But once the USBsyslinux takes over, has IT also got a USB driver? Since my MotherBoard & 2009 Slackware built USBstik syslinux booter were stolen I bought a <WinTel> laptop and USBextender to access my old IDE & SATA disks. With WinTel's new arrangement of not allowing the tail of the

Yes: before my x86MotherBoard & <syslinux>USBstik were stolen, I could edit the <syslinux prompt> to boot to different partitions of the attatched IDE & SATA. N...

In the limiting case, there's only the 4 partitons of M$pook & stkA & stikB, which gives only 3 sdX1 to test BLINDLY. > But that also needs a kernel driver to handle the USB adapter. There are 2 separate goals: 1. booting a second USB-stik; 2. perhaps more difficult: booting ID or SATA via the USB-adapter. Apparently the USB-adapter is smart enough to hide the IDE/SAT...

Yes this is the SAME question, that I can't get an answer from a month ago! I have the files, from a USBstik [now stolen] which I previously could edit at boot time, to boot any of my IDE or SATA partitions. Now, with a laptop, I want to boot the same IDE or SATA via a USB-adaptor to IDE/SATA. And also I want to boot a Toshiba 500GB USB disk. The obvious question is: why [if] the old system
