Flash drive, reformatted HDD.
Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2013 7:31 pm
I have the latest version on a flash drive, and i want it to be bootable. My main question is this. Can I install Linux from a blank Harddrive? Or do I need to have either Windows or another version of Linux previously installed for it to recognize it? There has to be a way using a blank HDD because Windows did it. I've tried formatting the Flash drive as NTFS and Fat32 types, and neither of them were successful. With NTFS I get "Missing BOOTMGR press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart". With Fat32 it just hangs at the bootup screen. I'd really appreciate any help. Sorry if this is an idiotic question to all you Linux masters, but searching google for hours didn't help me out.
