I have a Netbook that Im helping a friend out with. He Broke his Hard drive im simplest terms Long Story dont want to explain it. So i cant insatall to the hard drive becuase the bios wont even recognize it. Now i have a 4 gb Flash Drive and I know its possible to do as ive done it with other usb devices with ubuntu before but can som e one tell me how to install the full os to the Flash Drive. Not a Live Bootable USB but just install the OS to the drive.
Ive Tried Using Wubi and that doesnt recognize my Flash drive only my C drice and Ive tried using Pendrive linux's tool to install it but it just made a live cd.
Also because the hard drive is pretty much just dead. WHen it boots it tires to what i guess is find the hdd it keeps giving me the error
ata1: soft rest failed(device not ready)
ata1:link is slow to respond, please be patient
ata1: sata link is up to 3 gbps
then it repeats that error while the error code on the side keeps incrementing
