I have a Sandisk Cruzer Fit, 16 GB flash drive that recently I was able to
boot a Linux distro from. I tried making it a multi boot drive using
xbootvs1.0beta14, YUMI-2.0.0.5, and Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.3. It
appears to work each time, but when I try booting I get "missing operating
system" error. Using the same programs and computer but a different flash
drive the process is successful and I can boot it on several different
laptops.
I have tried formatting it many times with Windows and Linux, both quick
and complete formats. It is formatted Fat32. I can read/write files to it
each time.
I suspect I have a corrupted MBR or partition table. However, I am at the
edge of my knowledge on the subject. How can I fix this so I can use it as
a multi-boot drive? I have access to both Win 7 and Linux computers.
Thanks in advance for the help.
