Hi,
sorry for the delay but I had some work to do.
I've played a bit around and made the following observations:
- booting from external hard-disk does not work as described before
- boot Windows XP I can boot Windows XP (included with the notebook) from the internal disk, connect the external disk with grml on it via USB and then tell Windows to reboot: voila, it works, after some time I can login.
- boot grml from CD I can boot grml from the CD, connect the external disk via USB, login to grml and enter reboot. After removing the CD the system reboots from the external disk
- boot Knoppix from CD I can boot Knoppix from the CD, connect the external disk via USB, and tell Knoppix to reboot. After removing the CD the system now boots grml from the external hard-disk.
OK, for me this looks like a problem with the notebook. I will contact Medion but I guess they will not be able to answer my questions.
Or is there any way to 'work around' this problem?
Thanks AugustQ
