I'm having a hard time getting my Gigabyte P55m-ud2 board to boot from the usb after creating the installation. The installer usb drive (fat32) boots fine but when I restart and take it out (leaving just the installed flash drive) the system just hangs. My only guess is t hat it is trying to figure out if the usb key is bootable and is hanging.
I was thinking that maybe I could put some fat32 booter on a 32 gig flash drive and have the installed os be on the back side of the drive in a different set of partitions. The booter (maybe grub?) would simply start and then pass off the boot to the OS. With the first partition being fat32 my system may not lock up.
Stupid idea? Any idea how to make that work?
Thanks!
