Some EFI BIOSes handle external drives differently in looking for what to boot... Try this: 1. Copy EFI/qubes/ to EFI/BOOT/ 2. Rename EFI/BOOT/xen.efi to EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi 3. Rename EFI/BOOT/xen.cfg to EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.cfg - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
