How to boot from USB connected SATA HDD
1. I have created a clone of my boot drive (SATA) for backup and security reasons.
2. Have tested the clone by substituting the normal boot drive with it. Everything works normally.
3. Would like to be able to boot from the clone when it is externally connected via USB and a SATA adapter.
4. Have adjusted BIOS to make removable drive first in boot sequence and have selected USB as removable drive. Have tried all three available USB settings for removable drive namely:
CFC I20A, SDC I20A, SMC I20A.
5. None of these settings have worked and, on reboot, the USB drive is ignored and boot is from internal drive.
Ideas anyone?
