Hi,
sorry for the misunderstanding: Booting from USB itself is not the
problem, but I think writing the correct grub files is.
I can boot via F9 from my USB disc, but when the notebook tries it just
produces the "Missing Operating System" error.

basically you have to manually tell the BIOS to boot from the USB
disk.... the last time I made an install on a USB drive, before
rebooting the first time I did create a new initrd file to tell the
kernel to load the usb modules and be able to mount the root partition
from the USB drive (I do remember to add usb_storage,sg,sbp2 and others)
if you don't create the new initrd, there is a chance that your
installation won't boot.... to fix it, use a rescue system, chroot to
your installation and create the new initrd
best Regards

First thing to check if the computer you are trying to boot up supports
usb bootup, when yu are booting up, you may see a meesage "press esc/f8"
or something like that to select boot up device, that usually brings up
a small menu where you can select which device to boot from, if USB is
available select it and that should make your system to boot up from the
usb drive.

Hi all,
I've installed 10.3 on a USB disc drive as I can't use the internal
disc drive in my company notebook.
Any idea which option I have to use so that I can boot from my USB
drive? Currently it just tells me "Missing operrating system".
Thanks
Jan
