Similar to a previous questioner who did not appear to get an appropriate answer (being referred to a page that did not relate to his specific need) I wish to run a full 64bit version of Ubuntu 13.10 from my 64g USB3 stick. OK, I have actually done this, no problem.
But the issue is I would like to be able to boot from this large USB stick onto my UEFI laptop, running Win 8.1, which, of course won't recognise it without me changing the setup in a way that won't let me run Win 8.1 without changing the setup back again. Messy.
I've already created a 'Live' 64bit Ubuntu 64bit 13.10 installation on another USB stick which I definitely know I could use to install Ubuntu onto a new partition on my UEFI - Secure Boot Win 8.1 machine. But I don't want to do that.
I simply want to run full Ubuntu from my large format USB stick on that machine - and I don't know a way of making that stick UEFI bootable at the same time as installing Ubuntu on it again (or diddling with the existing installation, if necessary). The problem is that I'm obliged to create any new installation on this stick via an old non-UEFI computer. I can't do it via my Win 8.1 machine. So I just to not get any option via the 'Something Else' installation method to choose EFI.
Phew!
Anybody know what I can do (apart from take a running jump)?
