TK,
Would you be able to provide a copy of the Master Boot Record which is
contained in the first sector of the device?
You can capture the Master Boot Record in a file with the following command:
NOTE: Be extra careful to type this command in properly, otherwise loss
of data could result.
dd if=/dev/sdg of=sdg.mbr bs=512 count=1
where /dev/sdg is the USB device, and sdg.mbr is the name of the file
that will need to be attached.
Previously I made this request in the Launchpad bug,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710696
but think this information would be much more useful in this mailing
list. :-)
