    I have created a Recovery usb(1G) on another computer without any problem, however, when i boot the Aspire One(Linux version) with the USB, the strange word: BB BB BB BB appears and filled up a few lines, then it started the normal boot(boot with SSD), is there any problem with my USB drive, or...

    Thank you!

    Acer's products are always like that! in the past i bought two acer computers, the desktop was burnt because of too hot, the laptp's arc was cracked, after i bought Aspire One, i thought that this product is great, and Acer's position was increased(in my mind), but now.... i think that still no change ;)
