Great suggestions but I can't. Part of the typescript output I included was me doing just that and I was root when I did it but the squawk is that I don't have permission as if I wasn't root. If writing to the SSD card was possible, I could have just done the dd command, only with a smaller input image and it would have worked. Thank you because what you suggest would be the normal way out. Martin Martin
My take that solid state drives - SSD and especially CF - can go bad and it's usually safest to get a replacement rather than continue to work with one that's showing any sign of misbehaviour.
Incidentally, there are a wide variety of SSD drive brands and some are definitely slower and less reliable than others. Genuine Sandisk are usually pretty good, but always use a tool to check that what's inside is the same as the label.
