Re: SSDT - Any more ideas??

Dear List -


Back from vacation.

HEADACHES!!

I formatted the usb stick as FAT16 loaded the DOS OS and the Bios update.

The laptop would not boot from the stick.  Set the boot parameters to 
boot from the usb stick.  Computer freezes.  Noticed that the laptop 
recognizes the usb stick at FAT32.

Formatted the usb stick and loaded the DOS OS.


fdisk -l

<snip>

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *          32       63487       31728    e  W95 FAT16 (LBA)


The directory /media/usbstick exists.

Can not create the directory for the bios.

rosenberg:/# mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
rosenberg:/# mount -t e  /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick
mount: unknown filesystem type 'e'
rosenberg:/# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbstick
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so


If you need more information, please tell me.

Thanks.

Ethan
