Linux USB drive won't boot
by whois1230 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5B9R8)
Hello, this is a continuation of my older thread: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...34#post6185134
I installed the newest version of Fedora Workstation on a USB drive on my old laptop. I removed my old laptop's hard drive, before proceeding with the installation. My old laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C50-A. After installing, I could boot into Fedora with the hard drive removed. When I inserted the hard drive, and I tried to boot, I got an error and was asked to either press [ENTER] or Ctrl+D to continue. I tried booting the flash drive on my new laptop, which is Lenovo ideapad 110, and it won't even read the drive. During the installation to USB I left 21 GB for Fedora and 100 GB free space. I also chose to encrypt the drive, which was one of the options of the installation. How can I get this USB to boot?
