Cheers. This ATV is actually a fine emulation console, since everything is already set up and it supports the Xbox wireless dongle. Glad you liked it.

The main problem is that the installation stops with the message that says No boot/recovery files found. It went through my internal drive by first partitioning it, then formatting the Recovery partition, making the swap partition, formatting the Kinos partition, and mounting all the partitions, basically how a typical install of Kinos2 should work.
When it came to mounting the partitions, it threw an Error (sdb2) with sda1 & sda3 being fine along with sdb1.
Here's some notes on my procedures:
- I wrote the Kinos2 image to my 4GB USB Drive via USB image writer on Linux. I don't think either the program or USB device are at fault because I was able to install the OS on a bigger mSATA SSD that had no data in it.
- The mSATA SSD I tried to install it on still gets detected on my Linux PC so I don't think its defective, especially as it used to have OSMC on it.
- Going back to the USB device containing the installer, when the process halts due to a failure, it looks different when I plug it in the Linux PC. By that, I mean it no longer has only one partition with the tar file inside it but Kinos & Recovery.
Should I try to clone a HDD/mSATA that has Kinos2 working successfully to the target hard drive that couldn't get the OS to work? Would it be OK if that HDD/mSATA being cloned is smaller than the target device? For instance, Apple's 40GB IDE HDD being cloned to a 128GB mSATA SSD.
Can't seem to figure out what the problem(s) are that are preventing me from installations.
