Hi,
I have been trying to make a bookable live USB with more than 4gb + of persistence , I tried many methods googled a lot none seemed to work so please help, these are the methods I tried:
Method 1 = http://ubuntu-usb-large-persistent-storage.blogspot.ae/ ,
Problem = I followed it exactly made casper-rw as ext 4 partition manually followed exact words exact way but in the end when I try to boot it would just bring me to a black screen with a blinking underscore key. I tired allign with mib and cylinder both didn't work.
Method 2 = I used my 8gb usb which had ubuntu without persistence to install ubuntu on my 64gb sandisk extreme , I partitioned the USB with 1 being for ubuntu as ext4 and the other being for normal use as ntfs.
Problem = This worked fine I booted the first time it seemed to work perfect I was unsure about persistence so I rebooted after an automatic update that updated packages and my usb wasn't listed in boot options anymore. UEFI never worked the one that did work was normal legacy one but that option disappeared.
Method 3 = I tried Installing again this time with 4 partitions , 1 as NTFS for normal use , 2nd as / root partition , 3rd as home partition , 4th as swap partition.
Problem = This time it says please insert boot able device and reboot and press enter
What am I doing wrong? If these methods are wrong what's the right method?
