Installing 5.3 using Sandisk flash disk

Hi Everyone,

Guess I am new to the forum although I have been following it for some time now! I have a problem I am hoping someone can help me with:

I have a IEI IBX 530 unit that uses a flash disk for storage. I used a Transcend 32GB flash disk and installed CentOS 5 successfully on the unit. I now wanted to install a second unit, but am using a SanDisk Extreme IV flash disk. The installation completes successfully, but when the system reboots for the first time after the install is complete, I get an error: "Grub Loading Stage 2. Read Error". This error occurs using CentOS 5.3 and even occurred when trying Fedora 9 and 11.

Any ideas why this is occuring ot how I can resolve it? I used both the 16GB and 8GB Sandisk version, and created partitions as follows:
/boot (100MB)
swap (1GB)
/ (remainder of disk available)

Any help or advice appreciated!

Regards
