I'm not sure what you can do to boot from it...but, have you tried booting to a porteus CD or usb stick, then using PLOP to boot up the e-sata?

hi i have tried to boot from fat32 first,but when i choose usb key and enter, reboot immediately.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Try putting porteus on a different usb drive, that you know will boot. Boot in to the syslinux menu on that device, then insert your e-sata drive, and select "Plop bootloader", and see if you can find the e-sata drive in the Plop menu, and try to boot from it.

I'm not very familiar with Plop, but I do know that it can boot from usb devices, even when not supported by the local bios.

don't worry Ahau but my bios support usb boot,and i use grub for boot every usb key and sd.

@beny
I need to know at which exact stage it fails.
please make a photo (if possible) of the error and link it here.
Does it work when you use usb connector instead of e-sata?

hi fanthom the key via usb reboot when i choose start option in grub pannel,with fat 32 and windows script it is the same,it seem some e sata driver hidden that make acpi trouble,but it is only my idea,i have purchase it for adds speed to system but....no way only storage data key

[fanthom]

Did you try it on another PC? does it behave the same?

i dont understand this part:
"i have tried with xfs,seem with linux file system it is corrupted"
where it is saying that xfs is corrupted? after running 'liloinst.sh'? during boot?
