I have a Toshiba Satellite L850, Ubuntu 14.04 only installed and a LG Slim Portable DVD writer 2.0 USB. The DVD writer is recognized and works if I am running Ubuntu and I plug it in, but Ubuntu will not boot from the USB external writer drive.
Needless to say I am using this drive because my internal drive seems to have gone ba
d.
Any suggestions on how I can get this or some other drive to from the drive
