Hi,
I have a Laptop without harddisk (Toshiba with Celeron1.6/512MB/DVD).
The bios doesn't support boot from USB so I tried PLoP.
I burned PLoP into a CD-RW. The program works but here comes the problem:
1) The program loads (with the stars moving in background).
2) I select USB and press enter.
3) A new screen says:
LOADING EHCI DRIVER
SEARCHING ON HOSTS
HOST 1
After that the background stars stops and the laptop get frozen (ctrl+alt+del doesnt work only power button).
I repeated this several times with the usb stick connected, disconnected, connected since power on, connected since PloP is loaded. Always happens the same thing.
Any ideas or suggestions?
PS: I'm trying to boot Ubuntu/Xubuntu from a USB in a laptop (without usb-boot bios support). If I can't with PLoP, is there any other alternative? I don't want to throw my computer in the garbage just because the harddisk died.
