Qubes OS working on Thinkpad X220

[ipadr...@gmail.com]

Hi there,

I failed to boot Qubes from USB drive on a Thinkpad X220 whereas it should work fine.
I used Rufus (DD Image) to install the ISO on the USB drive, desactivated the UEFI boot.
Any advice ?

I just installed Qubes on an Thinkpad x230, but I installed from a DVD. I didn't have any luck booting from USB.

Hope this helps!

I recently did an install onto x230. I used a utility (not sure which one) to extract the el torito boot image from the cd.

This wasn't the one I used, but it looks like it might do the trick?

Create the USB drive in ISO mode and not DD mode. Worked for me.
