When I boot from a 1Tb USB HDD the boot screen gives a warning soon after starting up, the boot process continues without any problems, below is the warning text
Checking Last Sector Is Accessible BIOS BAD (The BIOS BAD part of the warning is highlighted in a Blue BOX)
WARNING This BIOS May Have Problems Accessing Files On This Drive
Please give me some information about this problem
Thank you in advance

It seems to boot normally for now.
I have googled and did not found much. Try to do the same. And report.
Maybe brokenman, fanthom or hamza might find an answer to your riddle. They might come up soon.

Problem Solved
Having delved deeper into Google and doing back to back tests using a 16Gb Flashdrive and a 1Tb USB HDD to load Porteus I noticed that the warning was showing during booting the 1Tb HDD but did not show when booting the 16Gb Flashdrive
This issue was pre-Porteus booting, it was only showing during device booting and it now appears to be related to a BIOS not being able to read the whole 1Tb USB HDD up to the last sector
Always learning

Please add solved to the title and change the title to something more appropriate since you weren't booting from a Live CD at all. Thanks.
