Thread: can't install from external USB DVD drive


i'm trying install ubuntu onto hp envy 15 laptop, has external usb dvd drive. can boot ubuntu boot menu (where choices boot live cd, start install, etc.)

whatever chose here, end initramfs error, saying cannot find live filesystem.

i've tried ubuntu 9.10 , 9.04, both have same result (though 9.04 not display same error message, drops busybox). verified dvd medium, , same disk able boot & install on desktop system.

i've seen threads ubuntu running on hp envy 15 - wonder how guys made work.

wrong here?

some computers can't boot external drive. best bet boot windows, let detect drive, install .exe file on ubuntu disc. when reboot, should have drivers needed detect external drive , boot it.

failing that, can poke around in bios , option boot external drive, on older systems, not possible.

may need find way install windows, can boot external drive.

why using external drive anyway?
