Good!

My bad. I forgot that before the cp command I unmonted de disk. The 
system saw it after that the command ends and asks what to do with the

I don't know what to say. I believe that it must be a myriad of firmwares

I forgot to tell that I omited this jessie part. I only did
apt-get update
apt-get install firmware-realtek
apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree

Sure thing. I spend all my weekend in a fierce battle with this monster 
and I was near (a couple of times) of giving up.

Yes, you can call me that now!
