    Good afternoon!

    I have recently acquired an X5000 newgen machine and would like to use it as a MorphOS box.
    With this in mind I need to install Morph obviously.

    I have a supported video card installed and have a suitable SSD installed and connected to the mainboard sata port.

    Here is where it gets tricky. For whatever reason the 2nd sata port was broken off and is unusable.
    Due to how uboot works, I am not able to use a CD to install MorphOS as the CD MUST be connected to a mainboard sata port and the only usable one has the HD connected. (I tried booting to CD with sata and then seeing if it could see my pci sata card but no dice.)

    So this means I must get the thumb drive install to work.
    I have followed all of the instructions and no dice. The machine never sees the boot media. (And yes the X5000 boots to usb when I use the OS4.1 media so it is not an issue with the machine.

    I have now tried 4 different usb sticks and none of them work.
    The command I used to create the boot stick is:

    From a shell in Morphos:
    Copy morphos-3.18-hybrid.hdimg RAWDISK:Devices/usbscsi.device/0/rawdisk DIRECT

    This APPEARED to work and did in fact copy the image over but it does not work in the X5000.
    Any suggestions?
