These instructions help with determining and setting disk partitions as bootable devices.
{{Highlight|'''Note''': This page is transcluded in other instruction pages.}}
</noinclude>
* Check the disk partition table for a device, such as {{Code|/dev/sdc}},<br>
: {{Code|sudo fdisk '''-l''' /dev/sdc}} ''<----that's a lowercase letter 'L' for the '''l'''ist option.''
<ul>
{{Show|You should see something like the following:
|<pre>
$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 4012 MB, 4012900352 bytes
124 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1019 cylinders, total 7837696 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x0000a9c7
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 * 62 7834071 3917005 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
</pre>}}
The asterisk, '''*''' , under the Boot column indicates that the partition is bootable.
{{Show| If it is missing, then execute the commands here:|
# {{Code|parted /dev/sd''c''}}
# {{Code|toggle 1 boot}}
