I have a 3.2.2 flash drive that boots on my EFI system. The installer should be creating a hybrid MBR and a GPT directory table. I have not tried a 4.0 flash drive install.
Non-Windows partition is not an option for me. Does Unetbooting work with NTFS + UEFI?
Cool! Do you have a xzm for this app?
It's a Windows app, just like Rufus. Whether it would run under Wine I don't know.
Linux is sooo much easier than this windows tool.A new way to convert MBR to GPT!! And no data lost.
Remember, talking about a system with files on it and maybe multiple partitions. How would Linux convert it? Gdisk?
Would that matter? Porteus is booted, the user creates a folder on the real file system, creates a symlink to it, then creates a module of the symlink. The next time Porteus is booted, the folder is still on the real file system, Porteus loads the symlink module, the link and real folder connect. For user type folders, /home/guest/pictures/ for example, this should work imho, for system related files like drivers it wouldn't.@n0ctilucient
I think they are talking about a symlink on the real file system on the installation media. The symlink you're talking about is different. The filesystem doesn't even exist at boot time.
Interesting. The problem with FAT32 is it's limited to 32GB partitions with older Window systems. And newer flash drives can be 512GB. Also Windows doesn't support multi-partition flash drives, the last time I checked. Just checked and newer versions of Windows 10 support multiple partitions on flash drives/USB drives. So the question becomes where is the drive going to be used, with Linux and newer versions of WIndows or with older versions of Windows also.@Fulalas
Only FAT32 for the first partition on UEFI. You shouldn't even need to run the Porteus installer ... well not to install the mbr. Just put the folders on the fat32 partition and boot without secureboot enabled.
