FB4 Cold Boot With USB Stick Results In Disk Error

Installed b337 yesterday on my FB4 and now every time the console cold boots with the USB Stick in the USB3.0 slot I get a prompt that says "Disk Error Hit Any Key To Continue". After Hitting any key on the keyboard it boots fine into the login screen. If I remove the USB stick, then it cold boots fine.

I thought maybe there was a hidden file on the memory stick that was causing it to try and boot from it, so I formated the Stick and it still throws the error.

Even a soft restart from within Hog4 causes the error upon restart.

    Hey Jeff,

    Indeed Mike's suggestion to simply format the USB flash drive using Windows does not remove the boot partition. It simply formats the existing partitions.

    The good news is that there is a way to clear the bootable partition on a USB flash drive from the windows command line:

    1. Insert USB flash drive into a Windows 7 or Windows Vista PC.
    2. Open a run dialogue box by holding the Windows key on your keyboard and pressing R.
    3. Type "cmd" and press enter (allow permissions if prompted).
    4. At the command prompt type "diskpart" and press enter.
    5. When you are at the diskpart> prompt type "list disk" and press enter.
    6. Look at the disk size to determine which disk is the USB flash drive you wish to make bootable. 7. Type "select disk #" where the # is the disk number.
    8. Type "clean" and press enter. This deletes all material on the flash drive.
    9. Type "create partition primary" and press enter.
    10. Type "exit" and press enter.
