>From that, you do not appear to have a partition table, therefore you will not have an embedded area at all, and so grub will not install. usb sticks can be formatted in two ways. 1) with a partition sector and partitions like a Hard Disk. (embedded area exists) 2) with no partition sector and no partitions like a Floppy Disk. (no embedded area exists) You will probably have to add partitions to your flash disk so that grub can be installed on it. WARNING: Changing partitions will wipe all the usb stick contents and possibly your Hard Disk contents (if you mistype the device name) _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
