Ok, when I plug in my USB and boot from it - I end up getting a "Still waiting for root device" error. I did not try any bootflags yet other than -v

Any ideas? - I attached some pictures below.

Here is what my Bios is looking like at the current moment.

Try a different USB port or try boot flag USBBusFix=Y

or try different USB settings in BIOS...

I was using my USB 2.0 slot, but then tried the USB 3.0 and ended up trying the -v bootflag. Seemed to get a little further this time when looking at all of the running lines of script. But then at one point it went to a black screen and nothing else. No reboot, just at a standstill.

I took some photos before it decided to go to the black screen. *Did not get a couple of last lines before it did it however."

Now I am going to switch back to the USB 2.0 slot and try the bootflag.

Ok, switched it back to the USB 2.0 and tried the bootflag USBBusFix=Y

here are the results.. seems to be the same - "Waiting for root device"

USB 3.0 looks to be getting me a little further in the process for some odd reason. So I switched it to the USB 3.0 slot and tried the bootflag again and then here is the result.

Another thing. Why can't it take "ownership" - could this be the cause of reason?

Here is 2 photos that display when I start up my computer. I have a lock on my hard-drive and was wondering if that could be the reason behind it not being able to take "ownership".

You need to use:
IGPEnabler=N -x -v dart=0 -f UseKernelCache=N

 

[Briceston]

Do I need to do "=N" or "=No" or does it even matter?

It doesn't matter. The code only looks at the first letter. You can write IGPEnabler=nada, if you want.
