Re: Live Cd Boot Screen Shows BIOS BAD
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.

Re: Live Cd Boot Screen Shows BIOS BAD
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

Re: Live Cd Boot Screen Shows BIOS BAD
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.
