    Hi all,

    I seem to have some problems with creating a bootable SATA Disk... and I don't know what I'm doing wrong ...

    I tried to put the .img file on the disk. But when I try to expand the size of the partition, I get this "bad superblock" exceptions all over the place resulting in a corrupt disk ...

    When I try to download the binaries, and extract them to the SATA drive itself, I get this "this archive is corrupt" or something. I tried to extract it on the UDOO itself, but also on another machine ... and there seems to be something that I must be doing wrong or so ...

    Is there someone who could help me with this ?

    Thanks in advance!!

    :)

    I had to use my second UDOO to attach the SD card using a Card Reader, and the SATA disk. And used the second udoo to copy the card to the SATA drive ... that did it

    But the copy of the rootfs zip, and the dd of the .img file didn't work ...

    A step by step of the process to add a SATA HDD/SSD would be the ticket! Jeesh!
