A few months ago I had trouble with my old Gigabyte motherboard booting
from a USB stick. I had been getting around it using the Plop
bootloader on a CD. Tonight I found a solution. I found a program
called Etcher. I used it to create a bootable USB stick which booted
the first time I tried it.
Get it here https://www.balena.io/etcher/
I checked it out with KDE partition manager which said it had a 3.22 MB
FAT16 partition with the remainder of the 2GB stick listed as unknown.
Cfdisk reported the following:
Boot start end sectors size
ID type
/dev/sdf1 * 0 1218859 1218560 595M 0
Empty
/dev/sdf2 424 7023 6600 3.2M ef
EFI (FAT-12/16/32)
Free Space 8192 3913727 3905536 1.9G
The Partition Magic ISO I used is 595MiB (623,902,720 bytes).
I passed this on in the event someone else finds it useful.
