Re: [qubes-users] USB fails to boot on one computer, but succeeds on other, and the USB listed in device selection menu's storage volume is waaay lower than it really is

Your errors while insalling could probably result from the UEFI 
implementation of you Laptop. In the Qubes Documentation under 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/uefi-troubleshooting/ you find more 
information on this.


Installing on a USB Stick is OK for testing but not a complete real 
Live System. You normaly can't have a USB-Qube when booting from 
USB-Stick, if you have more than one physical USB controller you could 
assign all USB controllers to sys-usb exept of the one that you used to 
boot. The missing USB qube would only be a problem if BadUSB attacks are 
in your threadmodel, otherwise you could just ignore it.


And using it on another machine would result in many problems. It 
would likely not boot, because the boot entry is not set (there is a 
workaround on this in the uefi-troubleshooting page). And all your AppVMs 
with a PCI-Device (e.g. sys-net) attached would likely not boot or boot 
in an unexpected behaviour, because the wrong PCI-Device is assigned to 
them. This could even result in a crash and reboot, if the wrong 
PCI-Device is a GPU.

Thanks for the help, I've heard that the download USB should be a fat 
format but I couldn't find what a live usb should be, so this should help 
when I try it out. And as for the franken-installation, the website did 
mention that pretty much the only change needed was to switch to a USB to 
have a live USB, so if it's not that simple, they should update their 
website I guess, not to throw shade or anything.

you can not install qubes to a fat partition.
delete the fat partition to make the space usable for qubes.
you should be able to do that from the installer.

i would recommend starting with a plain qubes install in this case
instead of some not-recommended "creative" franken-installation.
