@outlawal2,

Is your x5000 a new computer or a second hand one ? In the case it is a new one you can or could contact a-eon to get the motherboard being repaired in warranty. Have-you thouht about this possibility ?

About the steps to boot from a usb peripheral, drive or card inside a reader, do not put it in a usb port before the splash screen with the spinning boingball. Put the usb when you enter to command line. Otherwise you will or would obtain 'EHCI timed out on TD - token*0x00xxxxx' endless errors and you would have to reboot the computer. When it is goog then type 'boot morphos', you obtain the choice of the peripheral to boot, press 1.
