I have a laptop with Windows 7, which doesn't support booting from a USB port. I have installed Easybcd beta build 94 on this laptop and using the Extended Bios option.
I connected a bootable HD with Windows XP to a USB port. When I try booting from the USB, I can see Windows XP loading, I can even see the Windows XP logo, but soon after I get a blue screen saying check for viruses or run CHECKDISK and the laptop reboots again almost immediately.
When I use the external HD with Windows XP as an internal HD, the laptop works perfectly. Actually, I've been using the external HD with Windows XP as an internal HD in this laptop for few years, now I would like to use it as an external HD using a USB port. I'm using a "Y" USB cable to give to the external HD more power, in case it needs it for booting.
Do I need to do something else to make it work?
