boot from USB
Posted: Sun Jul 30, 2006 5:44 am
Hey all,
Just landed at this wonderful site and am downloading the Boot images from the slow internet at my part of the world.
In the meantime i will be more at ease if anyone can confirm is UBCD will solve my problems and how to go about it.
The thing is i have a Sony Vaio S-series notebook with a 60 GB internal disk (win xp pro) which is full.
Now i wanted to play with linux (FC5) loading it on a USB disk(Will move it to main drive once im fullt confident).
The problem is that my BIOS has no way of booting off a USB drive. So is there some option in UBCD to do this? The bios allows boot from CD.
Ill be very gratefull if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Cheers
