I put a Linux O.S. on a pendrive as full install. It's on the second partition of said pendrive. The boot flag is marked and it's a "primary, active" partition. The first partition is also "primary, active". First partition is not marked "boot".(good reason...there's no O.S. there). However, it won't boot up the Linux O.S. I'm at a loss as what to do next? Here are the specs: [SanDisk 256Gb-3.0 CruzerGlide...2 partitions-1st.~200Gb(136Gb used) primary, active partition 2nd ~33.5 Gb(8Gb used) primary, active with "boot"] Can anyone explain what I need to do, or have done wrong in order to get it to "boot"?
Thanx

What is keeping you from eliminating the first partition?

Sorry, should have said....is making the O.S. on the first partition of importance?
I have found this on the net:
"First change mount point of First partition on this Main USB drive to ROOT "
"First change mount point of First partition on this Main USB drive to ROOT "

ac3mark;
I already have an Linux O.S. on the second partition....how do I "change" the mount point of the first partition to root...as you suggested. I have GParted open, but something tell me this is something I have to do through/via the terminal?
