So hd0 is the USB stick. I'm not familiar with the view you have there, so try things like: ls (hd0,apple1)/ ls (hd0,apple2)/ ls (hd0,msdos2)/ I'm guessing appleX gives you a UEFI view, and msdos2 an MBR view. If you see directories, try listing them. (Command recall should work to save typing.) (In the other thread, c didn't work because you were already at the command prompt that c gives you.) Cheers, David.
