Contents • • • • • • Introduction PCs use a system called the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) to start the machine. A modern BIOS (written after 2002) usually contains USB drivers and a boot from USB option but older computers often don't have these features. There are two common problems: • They may lack a BIOS setting to allow booting from USB. • They may not recognize USB drives initially, and may require operating system drivers to accomplish this. An alternative for older machines is to let the BIOS start a minimal Linux system on a BIOS supported drive such as a floppy disk, CD, or HD, and then transfer control to the USB drive to continue booting the full operating system. A minimal Linux system contains the necessary USB drivers to continue the boot process. Note: If the computer was made between 2002 and 2005, it may contain USB drivers, but not an option to boot from USB.

Now search for your USB drive, using the root command to choose a drive/partition and the find command to see if you found the right one. You can go through your devices like in this example: grub>root (hd0,0) # first harddrive, first partition grub>find /[tab] # type the slash then press [tab], and it will try to list files on this partition Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition # Oops no file system here grub>root (hd0,1) # first harddrive, second partition grub>find /[tab] Possible files are: lost+found var etc media. # That was my hard drive with my linux install grub>root (hd1,0) # second hard drive usually is the USB drive if you have only one internal drive grub>find /[tab] Possible files are: ldlinux.sys mydoc myfile mystick syslinux.cfg # Bingo, that's the USB stick Note: If you have two internal drives including your CD/DVD drive, the USB drive probably is hd2,0 and so on. Boot the drive by entering: chainloader +1 boot For convenience, add these commands to your GRUB configuration (usually in /boot/grub/menu.lst): # to boot from a USB device title Boot USB drive root (hd1,0) chainloader +1 boot Of course, if you don't have GRUB installed on your hard drive, change the menu.lst on your GRUB floppy or CD.
