Problem Booting from USB HD

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a HP Pavillion 9000 Laptop with PheonixBIOS v. F.09.

Yesterday I successfully installed Fedora v14 on a 1GB USB External Hard Drive.  Before the installation I reset the Boot Order to:

 

1.       USB Hard Drive  (Fedora 14)

2.        CD/DVD ROM Drive

3.        Netbook Hard Drive (MS Win 7 Pro)

4.        USB Floppy

5.        USB Diskette on key

 

When the Fedora installer rebooted the system, the laptop booted into MS Windows 7 Professional (the OS installed on the Netbook Hard Drive).  When I attempted to reboot I think that I hit F8 during the early stage of the reboot and Fedora booted with no action from the led indicator for the Netbook HD.  Great I thought finished the installation and shut the computer down with the Fedora shutdown option.

 

This morning when I booted the computer with the External HD running the machine booted into Win 7.  Now, the boot order is the same as I set it in the BIOS, but the Boot Menu only has two options:  2 and 3 (in that order).  This, of course explains why the computer boots into MS Win7. 

 

Finally, the question”

 

                What’s going on here, and how do I get Fedora to run?

 

Assistance is much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.
