can't boot a Mint Cin 17.1 live Sandisk Ultra Fit 3.0 32GB

Thank you for your reply,

This the first time I’ve ever used gdisk. I’m learning alot trying to solve this problem.

Hear is what  gdisk /dev/sdb1  lists:

Partition table scan:
  MBR: MBR only
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: not present

***************************************************************
Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format
in memory. THIS OPERATION IS POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE! Exit by
typing ‘q’ if you don’t want to convert your MBR partitions
to GPT format!
***************************************************************

Exact type match not found for type code F400; assigning type code for
‘Linux filesystem’
Exact type match not found for type code 1000; assigning type code for
‘Linux filesystem’
Exact type match not found for type code 7400; assigning type code for
‘Linux filesystem’

Warning! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by
3466974709 blocks!
You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility.

Command (? for help):

On this disk,  /dev/sdb,  I GParted a boot partition, FAT32  /dev/sdb1,  and an ext2 partition /dev/sdb2, labeled casper-rw,  to have a larger persistence storage than the FAT32 allowed 4GB. But even without setting up any persistence, it still was unable to run the Live stick.

Since I’m not familiar with gdisk, can you advise what I should do to make my SanDisk stick boot linux Live.

Thank for leading me in another direction,

Pete
