When trying to boot from USB, my Laptop just shows 'No operating system found', while another PC of mine manages to boot from the very same USB device.

I have already booted from USB many times and it always works. It seems my Laptop has problems booting from a usb hdd, maybe it can't locate the boot partition?

I already tried using the plop bootmanager to boot, but it didn't work as well.

Do you have any ideas?

Which image? 64 or C86

Both. I tried arnoldthebats x86, x86_64 and x86 special builds as well as the old builds by hexxeh, none of them will boot.

I'm not sure whether my notebook has to support EFI oder UEFI in order to boot, because it has the standart legacy bios.

Do you have any ideas on how to boot anyway? Maybe somehow integrate it into the grub bootloader and let grub boot chromium os instead of the bios?
