[SOLVED] Booting from external drive on another machine

Ok, there, fawkz, here's the problem. I installed BL to an external HDD, and it boots fine on this very machine, however it fails to boot when attached to another machine.

The image you had attached, is just too small to be legible.

You said you installed BL to an external HDD; please be advised that installed OSes are configured according to the machine used during installation and therefore when being booted on another machine, might be incompatible.

If you want an on-the-go OS, I suggest you to create a live persistent USB HDD. Instructions can be found here.

Thanks. Followed the tutorial, but failed to get persistence. USB boots regular live session. Partition, which is supposed to be persistent presents in thunar as a removable media.

Since it has been solved on another thread, you can mark this as solved. We can continue the UEFI booting discussion on that thread.
