Install to USB
Posted: 10 Jul 2012, 23:26
Hi guys, new guy here.
I wasn't sure where to put this so if it is in the wrong place then I am so sorry.
I formated my 8Gb USB drive to the number 4 format using Gparted on another distro. I then booted Porteus 1.2 up in Vbox and let it install to the USB drive to include the boot-loader option. I transferred the USB drive to my netbook and set the BIOS to load from USB first. When it does, I get a black screen with a white blinking cursor and it just sits there.
Any Ideas what I can do to make it boot?
Thanks for the help and if I didn't give the correct information then let me know so I can correct my statement.
