Heh, heh - that's fine - thanks for your continued interest anyway. :)

Perhaps the SE guys will chime in here as to why the USB install is not bootable, even though it should be - very odd...

As I say - everything else I have tried has worked and booted fine on the same hardware and same USB flash drive, including Puppy Linux, a Windoze 7 setup USB stick, Ubuntu Server, OpenFiler, FreeNAS etc.

ALL of these boot up fine from the USB, so it can't be the hardware or the other Linux distros would not like the taste of things and fall over too when trying to boot the USB. Very strange indeed. INTENSELY interesting that Gparted says that the NL2 USB stick is bootable and has it's boot flag set, but the system still can't see it, and even NL2's own HDT on the boot CD says it can't see the flash drive once the install to USB has been completed.

...but remember that HDT could see the flash drive PRIOR to installing NL2 to it - extraordinarily mysterious...

As an experiment, I will make another USB of NL2, and just try it out on anther board - perhaps it is as simple as "NL2 will not boot from USB on a Gigabyte E350N - no conclusive reason known - end of story."
