![]() ![]() Mine is a UEFI, but I have it setup to operate in legacy mode. Not sure what type bios your computer has. ![]() (this is about a multiple installs to a USB stick, but it is the same for a hard drive) Used the Frugalpup installer program to do the installs and install a boot loader on the drive. Partitioned into several different partitions.įormatted partitions a Linux ext3 or 4 format.įormatted one partition ntfs so windows OS would be able to see and use it. ![]() I did this all in a booted Puppy version (Fossapup64 9.5)įirst I setup the drive using Gparted program. I have Puppy booting from an external portable hard drive with a bunch of different Puppy versions on it. You need to also install a boot loader to boot them. You most likely did not also install a boot loader to boot the Puppy you installed. It'll recognise any USB stick I plug in, but not an external HDD. I would still like to know what the issue is though, with installing straight to an external drive. It was slightly more fiddly initially, but once it was done there was no problem creating save files, the save was recognised straight away when I rebooted, and the rest of the drive was free for me to do what I wanted with. I've found a work around, I've put the ISO on the drive using YUMI, which for the benefit of anyone who's interested I found more convenient than Ventoy. I'm sure this issue has come up before from somebody else, but I can't find it now and it was quite a while ago, so may even have been on the old forum. I know there's nothing wrong with the drives, 2 of them have had other distros installed previously, one of them still has another distro on it, and no problems have arisen. I've tried with 3 different Puppies and with 3 different drives, same thing happens every time. I do the first couple of steps and then an error message comes up telling me there's nothing plugged in. I wanted to install to a portable hard drive simply so that I could have all my documents, music, videos, etc all on the same drive as the Puppy, instead of fiddling around with 2 or 3 drives. ![]()
