Recently I tried unetbootin which is supposed to +download and install a Linux distribution of choice and then create a +bootable disc. It all seems to work well except my laptop won't boot +from the newly created bootable external drive. + +I've occasionally forgotten to unplug my e-book reader and the next time +that I start the computer I'm informed that "this is not a bootable +disc." So, the computer does detect whether an external device is +bootable or not. + +My question is, how can I determine whether the external drive is indeed +bootable or not? Is there a bit that's set somewhere if it's bootable? + +-- +Regards, +Phil +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="008764.html">[Mageia-discuss] Downgrade package +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="008766.html">[Mageia-discuss] Bootable external drive +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#8765">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#8765">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#8765">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#8765">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
