Starting Ubuntu on an SSD involves configuring boot parameters and ensuring optimal performance.
You've installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on a SanDisk 240GB SSD inside a USB Type C enclosure. It boots fine on your gaming PC and MOBO boot menu. However, it doesn't detect on your HP Pavilion x360 laptop. You've tested it in various ports and with Secure Boot settings, but the issue persists. Consider checking if the SSD is properly seated or formatted, and ensure the laptop's BIOS supports UEFI. Also, verify that the USB drivers are up to date.
It seems the system isn't recognizing the drive, possibly due to a bios issue. There could be an setting that turns off USB boot.
USB Boot is turned on automatically. I don’t understand what’s happening.
You can ask for step-by-step guidance. I’ll explain it simply so you can follow along.
Probably you should open the PC BIOS and configure the UEFI. It could also relate to a Grub problem. Grub is the Linux bootloader responsible for showing available operating systems if your main OS wasn’t installed at the time. If Grub doesn’t recognize its presence, it might be better to reinstall GNU/Linux with the correct operating system drive attached rather than editing the Grub configuration file. For detailed instructions, many resources are available online.
Seek an app to modify UEFI boot entries; EasyUEFI is the only one available I’ve found, though it costs money but offers a free trial. BOOTICE was another suggestion, but the site is currently unavailable. With these options in mind, add a new entry pointing to `/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi` on the first SSD partition.
