--0lsrIB+s628ok5gC Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thank you for the additional information. I finally found my old laptop's internal CD-ROM drive, so I'll be able to at least check if the issue is USB-related. I just need to open the laptop to install it. After which I'll tinker with the cluster sizes and test further. Glen On Wed, Jul 13, 2016 at 10:30:33PM -0700, Maxim Sobolev wrote: > Hi Glen, nice update, glad being of some help.
