How To Boot An External USB Hard Drive On A PC | Batocera Hard Drive Demo

[@b.o.4492]

So for anyone with an ASUS Tuf gaming PC hit ESC and set the protected boot option off on advanced and works like a charm. Thank you for getting me to finally get it. Got it hooked up and can’t wait to check it out after my kids birthday party.

[@kbramlett6877]

Thanks for the info. Also, I liked how your HD looked like an old school cassette.

[@kevinhanley6462]

The cassette design looks like my vast collection of ZX Spectrum and Commodore Plus/4 tapes!

[@paulngureh1774]

Exactly what I was looking for!!! And straight to the point. Thanks

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

Glad it worked out

[@byLokie]

Theoretically...So if I take a hdd from an old laptop (still with OS and files from when last run) I can connect it via USB. Direct boot sequence to this hdd and it would be like starting old laptop?

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

Yep

[@junaidgamer6459]

But in my case in bios my external drive isn't showing ​@@OfficialChaseBrogan

Thank you so much!!I was struggling to setup the boot order

Does this work for a ssdd card too?

[@danthemann5230]

Even when I change the boot order to the external , it still boots from the internal hard drive not the external, not sure why

[@Nonyabusiness911]

The IT guy i spoke to said windows will not allow you to use a usb port for booting. I had the same problem. He said you have to use a sata cable and connect internally.

[@tonyd6269]

So when you change the boot order it will now boot to the USB Hard Drive if one is plugged into USB. If nothing is present in the USB port I assume it will boot to your internal hard drive? Thanks in advance!

[@KostakiFilms]

Can anyone confirm this?

[@loulsicar2155]

​@@KostakiFilms Not sure if you already found the answer about it but just in case, @7:54-8:09 of this vid says it will automatically recognize the internal if no USB hard drive is connected. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJrMp42obqZkZpIsi=3Pqe7jiQSlFwMdPG

can you make a batocera build image with games for the Orange pi 5 ?

[@OrangeLightning86]

I'm trying this with a HP elitedesk 705 G4. It did work the first time, but when I booted up a second time, it went to windows 11. I went to boot settings (F9) and chose my external drive, but it booted to windows again. What am I doing wrong when it worked the first time?

[@AmaanKhanMusic]

I have a laptop's internal HDD converted to external with usb and i've installed batocera on it. But not booting up i've done flashing it with balena itcher also i've tried installiong batocera on it from another batocera installed usb that worked perfect

[@Romulus_YT]

Did you ever get this working? Converting SSDs into internal/external doesn't matter. They are the same thing, one just uses a SATA/USB adapter. Anyway, I'm encountering the same issue. I've made a Windows/Linux dual boot before which had no issue. The difference is, back then I used a disk partition tool to allocate space on a single SSD in the laptop. I'm running HP Pavilion gaming now, using an external disk to (try to) boot Batocera from. I also used the Balena etcher tool which was recommended, and everything flashed smoothly. I can see from Windows that the drive has Batocera installed. The problem is, no matter what I do in BIOS, it refuses to appear on the boot list. I'm about to try one more thing, which is to disable secure boot.

[@RobboRobbo-z5q]

Thanks great

[@MergedElement]

I had this problem after upgrading to version 36. Remove all HDD plug it straight in alone still doesn’t work. Turn out it was my graphic card wasn’t supported in Batocera Linux once switch over. 😂

Can u do this on laptop

[@retrojoe2842]

what version of batocera do you use, and what size image is it

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

Typically 33 or 35 I have several different images so I go back and forth. I haven't tried 36 yet. Not a huge fan of updates as they usually don't do much but mess up existing game collections.

[@wolffactor56]

@@OfficialChaseBrogan my favorite is v33z. Had issues with v35. Light gun for v36 is pretty amazing

Which button moves the boot order up in an Acer main board?

[@tonypereyra7]

Can you boot the hard drive and use the HDMI?

[@GentielioGaming]

i got it to boot up but the olny issue is that are sound issues on ps1, saturn and dreamcast. Not on the lower or higher end systems. Also, i tried this on my medion laptop but in the boot menu it does not show the hard drive.

[@vfletes1]

Since we changed the bood order what do I have to do to keep using my regular OS

[@OfficialChaseBrogan]

Just disconnect the external hard drive and it'll default right back to your os drive or manually go back in and just change the boot order back to the internal option

[@masterm-cw7go]

I have similar 512 gigs it just stays with batocera image nothing load.

[@edissa9076]

Can you just access it from my computer and just click on the hard drive and go on it that way

[@domcizek]

NO

[@edissa9076]

@@domcizek why the caps ??

[@ChristopheCostantini-x1q]

For me it works until I disconnect the hard drive and boot into Windows normally, it just resets it to the drive where windows is installed. (MSI z790-i)

[@slikk325]

I have error verification failed (0x1A) security violation Please HELP !!!

what will now happen to the internal hard drive? can you access it when you boot externally?

You have to disable device encryption in settings before you do these steps. You can reenable it when you’re done

[@Riiiiiiiiiiiiiip]

I have an Asus z790 Motherboard anyone know where to disable boot security? Batocera loads up the image but then goes black screen.

I had the same problem. Try a Different older graphic card. Work for me.

Based on my experience atleast windows 10 wont boot from a usb drive. Ive trying it and it's a no go. According to the IT guy windows wont allow a usb external boot
