Boot gOS from USB Drive Experience

Boot and run Linux from a USB flash memory stick really make our life easy especially for IT administrator. Imaging you can easily carry Linux System in your pocket.

I was managed to install gOS on a USB flashdrive referring to “USB gOS install from Windows” tutorial. The installation guide are pretty simple:

1. Download and run gOSConvert3.exe, a gOS folder is created
2. Download the gOS ISO and place the ISO in your gOS folder
3. From your gOS folder, click fixgOS2.bat and follow the onscreen instructions
4. Reboot your PC and select your USB device from the Boot Menu or system BIOS and proceed to boot gOS from your USB device

Booting up a gOS with USB drive on a physical machine only took me about 2 minutes but it never boot up gOS or SLES 10 using Sun xVM VirtualBox.

Referring to guide “How to boot from USB in Sun xVM VirtualBox” from Shashank Shekhar’s Blaawg. Too bad, VMware Workstation 6.5.1 DO NOT support booting from USB drive.
