Hi forum,
I have made an USB disk from an olde laptop disk, and want to create a disk that contains Ubuntu.
So far I have installed files on the disk and asked for the boot loader to reside on the disk as well.
The purpose is to leave my Switch 11 intact, and boot normally when the USB disk is not attached.
When I attach this USB disk, I want it to boot Ubuntu directly by recognizing the boot loader installed on it.
So far I have failed in creating this setup.
My USB stick created by win32disk imager, boots fine and lets me start the installation, but after it finishes and I remove the usb stick installation media, my original windows boots again.
I have seen many posts about installing ubuntu alongside windows, but doing so by installing grub on the windows disk, and I want to try avoid this.
As I understand my Acer Switch, it has enabled secure boot and will only boot Windows. The usb sitck installation media does boot nicely however.
Is it not possible to create a bootable installation of Ubuntu with its grub loader on the same external usb drive?
Do I still somehow need to add a media in the windows boot loader?
I hope someone have tried the same installation type and is willing to share with me where I fail in this procedure.
Thanks
Michael
