Today I called SanDisk support.
I explained that the BIOS boot order lists: “USB HDD: SanDisk-(USB 2.0)” first. But during the boot sequence, I get a message, “Unable to find a medium containing a live file system”. Yet when I examine the contents of the disk, all the system files are there. Phone support could not help with Linux or boot issues.
So I e-mailed customer support a second time and was told: “we can replace your flash drive with another drive that will be detected as removable drive in your computer”.
I gave them the product code barely visible on the drive, was sent an RMA and a shipping label. And returned my drive today.
I will post a follow up when I receive the replacement drive. For anyone that might be experiencing the same problem booting Linux Live from a Sandisk SDCZ43-032G-G46.
Thanks to everyone for their suggested help in this matter. I’m learning from you guys.
