A USB drive as (1) 160 GB partition sole purpose data

[Allen Meyers]

I will shortly have the answer to my question on moving files/data to
the partition. Like Thorny has said to me and so many others its
merely a question of using clarity and specifics.
I doubt with just the typed word I could even do it now without
attachments. I sent Thorny a post not asking help just because I could
finally make my case with attachments. Like always I appreciate your
help.
As for the error 15 thing for me at least its merely a question of
mounting and unmounting the USB 160GB correctly. Grub and MBR are on
my sda1 and if I am not mistaken in the first 512 bytes of that
partition.
Again thanks and I will let Thorny comment if he cares to as his typed
word has more clarity then mine. He can talk Linux and I have not
gotten there yet.
