Re: write error on 1.8.1

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried booting and it's just at a flashing '\'.  If it helps, the 
duration of physdiskwrite's writing process for the final image was only 
about half that of the time taken to write the beta. It seems like there 
really is a write error?


I tried 1.34 and it seems okay?

M:\mono>physdiskwrite.exe -u generic-pc-1.34.img
.....
About to overwrite the contents of disk 3 with new data. Proceed? (y/n) y
Found signed compressed image file
10485760/10485760 bytes written in total

I do not have a spare flash drive handy to test which is my downfall, so i feel silly asking so soon. However indications below appear it might not be the flash drive.
