Well, if that laptop has at least two USB ports and you've got one USB flash drive and an external USB hard drive, what you could do is use Windows to copy the installer to the flash drive using Rufus or UNetBootIn or something similar, then boot to the flash drive and then install Qubes not onto the laptop hard drive, but onto the external hard drive instead. I don't know where it'll end up installing grub, but if it doesn't do it to the laptop hard drive, then you can just use the BIOS menu to boot off of the external HD. I think that might work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
