Install a Linux system such as Ubuntu to a mobile hard drive-the operating system carries the preamble just contact Ubuntu, I heard that the Linux system can be installed on the mobile hard disk, so the last week in the attempt to install Ubuntu on the newly purchased mobile hard drive, finally success ~ ~ which took a lot of detours , Baidu experience Some of the methods are not written clearly, so here to summarize the process and methods. There are many benefits to installing the system on a removable hard drive, such as: Emergency: When the computer system can not start, and the need for information in the inside, with the mobile hard disk start, you can directly work, and can call this computer hard disk files. Portable: Carry a mobile hard drive, wherever you go, you can use your own system and applications by simply plugging in a computer. Privacy: All data is stored in the mobile hard drive, the computer hard drive will not leave any traces. Tool 8G above (preferably 3.0), mobile hard disk (minimum 30G blank area, preferably 3.0) ready to work 1. First download the ISO image on the official website. 2. Make USB drive boot disk, I use UltraISO, file----Open the download ISO image, start-and-write hard disk image, select USB drive, write. 3. Delete a partition of the removable hard disk. My Computer right--management--storage--Disk Management (local), find the mobile hard disk, mine is Disk 1. It is highly recommended to install the Ubuntu system on the first partition because the boot entry will only scan the top 137G, otherwise it cannot be opened. Because my mobile hard disk is a new buy, so directly delete the volume, become unassigned, the new first partition, here is the Ubuntu partition, size 50G enough, if the mobile hard disk is enough for Oita 100G can also, mode selection of anything (NTFS on the line), because it is to be deleted. The rest of the area is the location of the mobile hard disk storage of other data, the number of partitions according to individual circumstances, mode selection NTFS. The first partition is then deleted, and the volume becomes unallocated. (The above step is to assign the front partition of the mobile hard drive to the Ubuntu system) This is the partition after the installation of Ubuntu, 98.09G for/Mount, 1.91G for the swap partition installation will start the USB flash drive and the mobile hard drive are plugged into the computer, first enter the BIOS option (general F1,f2,esc, etc.) Set USB boot Click to open link--Baidu experience--bios set up USB boot, or go to boot Manager (typically F10,F12), enter the Grub boot entry for the USB flash drive, the first to try Ubuntu, and the second to install Ubuntu now. Here I choose the second one--install now. Of course, you can choose the first one, go to the live desktop, and double-click Install on the desktop. 1. Welcome: Select language
2. Wireless: Connect to Wi-Fi. Because the Wi-Fi connection will download the language pack and so on, you can not connect it, then manually download it, but for convenience or time enough, you can download the language pack and other updates when you install it.
3. Ready to install Ubuntu: If the time is enough, you can download the installation update, install this third-party app is checked on.
4. Installation Type: Select another option. Partition when found the mobile hard disk set aside "idle" location, press "+", novice only two zones, 2G to swap, the rest of the full/hang at the point (EXT4). Attention!! Install the boot boot device AS/hang on the point partition
5. Where you are: Choose the region when you can choose Taipei, because this source is relatively fast, can be under the Chinese language pack, time is not wrong.
After selecting the keyboard layout, you can install it. After success, it is counted into the Ubuntu system desktop. Follow-up questions
However, the problem is that when the removable hard drive is unplugged, the computer does not start Windows properly (even when the boot device is installed at the time of installation under the/mount point). ), but into the boot Linux grub>, no interface, but can lose code, although you can enter a pair of code into Windows, or press F12 to enter the boot Manager startup item, but as a Virgo I must restore it. There are many ways to find the Internet. Suddenly saw a post, so success ~ ~ is with the help of EASYBCD software
After downloading the installation, go to add New project, re-create/repair the boot file, and perform the action
Or go into the BCD deployment and write the MBR: I'm using both methods anyway.
This restores the Windows startup item and does not affect the use of the system on the mobile hard drive.
