I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on this topic. This is the only one so far that got it exactly right particularly when it came to fixing the EFI entries and EFI partitions.

I am just amazed that in this day and age you have to go through all this hoops to get these working. Thank you for all the work you've put into this. Much appreciated and thumbs-up of course.

[ShubS]

finally, someone who also shows how to remove grub bootloader, thanks man! Nice Video

[Onlytheroadandi]

Thank you so much. I watched so many videos about this, but none of them seemed to work. You rock! :D

[lucian-alves-dev]

Very precise and straighforward tutorial. I installed Zorin OS and it worked flawlessly, so I believe any Ubuntu based distro will work too.

[thaitanic]

This video still works on 22.04 LTS thanks!

[AndreFauth]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I made the same thing for Debian and it worked perfectly. Amazing!

[farhanrejwan]

Damn this tutorial is on fire! It totally did things the way I needed them to be!

[THEmurknGURKN]

Was looking for this for a while, great guide and thanks!

[RubCalBat]

Great, man... This was what I was looking for. Thank you.

[nichobrooks]

this video was exactly what I was looking for. thank you!!

[toshk.k]

thank you bro, this was exactly what i was looking for

I'm oldschool baby! One extra tidbit is that some older PCs (unless the two I have with nearly identical Geforce61xx/nForce4 chipsets are just special cases) will not register additional USB devices when booting into a live environment via USB. So, in my case, I need to boot into linux live using a live CD in order to utilize any USB devices.

Thanks a lot. Exactly following you helped me make an os from external drive

When I followed the step and restarted the computer it worked fine. But when formatted the Ubuntu usb drive for reinstalling the installation process is very slow.

at 3:53 I cannot see the EFI Folder. It has folders Boot, Recovery, System Volume Information

[ama]

you are a star no one clearly said to create efi first then other partition I actually bought a new bigger samsung USB thinking maybe its the usb but u are the best but I couldnt follow after 3:24 because I am installing Mint THANK YOU well explained anything to do on linux from 3:24 ? if you can tell me ill be nice if not still thank you

[loicverbeke]

Hey, thanks a lot for the video! I just don't really understand what the purpose of the last step is (i.e. Switch EFI partitions). Indeed, I didn't do it, and my usb drive seems to work perfectly with ubuntu installed on it.

[AndrewGray]

Thanks for the tutorial. Everything works.

What was the purpose of the last step, changing what the boot partition automount?

It seemed to work fine without changing it.

[spiegan]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
