Hi, i managed to get both windows 10 and ms linux to boot from same ssd hard on my system (via internal system sata cable). I got a hold of an external caddy which iv since installed this ssd on to but when connected to my system via usb 3 it will not get to grub menu to boot into either os systems. I was hoping i could utilize both os from from any pc on my travels without having to lug with me a laptop. Any help/guidance appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, iv just decided to start using mx linux more from having used the live usb version and i quite like it. Id like to keep windows 10 on same system (for applications programs not available on linux).

Iv gone as far as creating the new partition (100gb) from windows so i could reboot and install fully mx linux from live usb. I encounter the following in the "choose partitions" stage of installer after highlighting and clicking next

"A root partition of at least 8.6 GB is required."

Do i go back into windows and make another partition and call it root?

Any help much appreciated if this is something that can be done it would save me carrying around 2 seperate ssd drives for each os and also a computer/laptop!

Hi, is there way of having the full install running from usb flash instead of the live version which i currently have? So all updates and files will be saved like it was installed on the hard drive.
