I have been using Linux Mint for some time now. Recently, my hard disk started giving trouble and I am planning to get a new laptop. But, considering that I have to use this till I get a new one. I tried installing the OS on a USB stick, and I was able to do that successfully. But I find that my laptop does not boot from it, though I tried it on a desktop and it worked. My bios has two boot options that say USB cd rom and USB floppy, but no USB flash drive or any such. I guess this is because my laptop and, consequently, its bios is more than five years old. So, I was wondering whether I would be able to boot from the thumb drive if I upgrade my bios. Any pointers on this would be quite welcome.
