Ebox 4300
Okay, so I had the system up for a number of months. It crashed and was unable to get system to start. So, I burned a new image 4.5 on USB stick. Checked Bios setting. It goes thru process of setting up Meteohub. However, during srtup it keeps looping thru probing partitions. If I reboot with ous usb stick an error message of code 29 disk write error.:S I assumed it was a BIOS setting. Could the problem be the CF?
Disk Write error

Re:Disk Write error
It appears the CF is already partitioned - so the install process loops. Any way around this? How to do 'clean' the CF and start from scratch.
Re:Disk Write error
you can erase the CF card from any linux PC.
1) Just insert CF card.
2) have a look at "dmesg" to undestand what device it has been mounted to (let's say "/dev/sdx" )
3) If it gets automounted from your Linux, please unmount device with "umount /dev/sdx1 /dev/sdx2 /dev/sx3"
4) Then fill it up with zeros with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=1M"
5) Done. CF card is blanked now.
