Hello all,
This is my first thread and first forum so I apologize if I leave out any tags. The Tom's community helped me enormously during my first gaming PC build so I figured I'd turn to the pros!
So I'm trying to boot Linux (Porteus) from a USB flashdrive (NTFS) onto my 2012 Asus V550C, but in the BIOS my booting options aren't listed like "HDD 1, HDD 2, USB", etc. I have to specify a pathway and a "filesystem" to pull the EFI file from. I have no issue with the pathway and the syntax, but my internal HDD is the only location/storage device I can select for the BIOS to look for the file. Is my USB not a bootable device or is my computer not capable for some reason? And is there a work-around other than using a LiveCD and Plop?
