Does you external device have that many sectors, or is something pointing past end-of-disk. That sector is about 303 GB into the drive. If the sector is real, you have at least one bad sector. And if that sector is needed for booting, it could be stopping the whole process.

- many thanks Greg : that is probably "it" : bad sector needed for booting :( .......... regards -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

How do you know that "/dev/sdc4" is still "/dev/sdc4" when booting from usb? It could very well get another denomination, like "/dev/sda4" - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

alas, boot sector is a part of the disk heavily used in many scenarios, so often there is the failing. AFAIR, if the disk extra sector count is off, the fail of the disk is very close and the hardware should be discarded. 300Gb disk are for free now, so do not hesitate jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
