Thanks for the info... I connected the disk to an existing system and
it formatted 2.9 gb just fine. I was then able to move it back to the
install system.
Thanks again,

I checked the article below out - and instead of using the debian
install I did a ' mke2fs -b 2048 /dev/sda1'. I also tried a 4k
block and still received the same results(an lseek error).
Am I doing this correctly?
