Howdy! I tried to install 6.2 amd64 on external usb hdd, but with no result. It is 2.5 WD and enclosure with two usb connectors for power. The box is not visible from bios at all, even when I use powered usb hub. Is it possible to install on external device like this? Product is from canyon. Should I buy another enclosure or look for internal 3.5 drive? Note: neither bios nor installation cd see the external drive. What could I do to have it working?
IIRC, you can only install to drives that the bios can see. You could try finding a computer whose bios can see the drive and installing from there. As long as you don't touch the internal drives on that machine, everything *should* be safe. YMMV
