I am looking to create a permanent copy of Ubuntu on a USB, not just a trial version. I have succesfully created a bootable version on USB (Ubuntu 14.04.3) and even managed to install packages etc. I have even been able to apply updates (some errors are displayed about filesystems).
The problem arises when I try to reboot from this USB version. It gets into a screen with "initramfs" prompt, which is essentially a dead end. Even more bothersome is that Windows 7 (on the hard disk) displays boot problems (scary blue screen), but does come back in the 2nd or 3rd attempt...phew!
I am looking for a sure shot remedy - not a trial and error process. I cannot afford to have the laptop messed up. Also, it has an encrypted hard drive so I cannot make it into a dual boot.
Thanks in advance.
