Here is what happened. I had SoaS2 on running a desktop. I told it to restart When I thought it was done I pulled out the SoaS2 (maybe a bit early) Next on my laptop I had tried to boot from a SoaS1 stick and gottent the /dev/boot error. I took out the SoaS1 I put in SoaS2 I turned off and on the computer. Now its booting from Windows not the USB. The SoaS2 that had booted on the same computer twice before. Somehow I broke the SoaS2 stick. I know I did a number of things not in the best order but is there a way to make things more robust? Is there a way to fix the SoaS2 stick or do I have to reflash it? -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove Caroline@SolutionGrove.com 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax
