I have a 4gig thumbdrive I tote around with a persistent version of ubuntu and some other utilities, like ultimate boot cd. Since I always have my phone, I figured why not just use it instead of carrying the thumbdrive.
I have been trying to install the boot installer on my phone's sd card so I could just boot a PC with the phone. The trouble is that if I install the thumbdrive boot files on the external micro sd card there seems to be no way to boot a pc from that drive. If you goto disk drive mode and boot the PC, it only wants to boot to the first USB device, i.e. the internal SD card. I tried the multimount usb app, but that did not help in mounting just the external SD card.
I have installed the boot files on the internal SD card and successfully booted the PC with it, but once the phone is restarted it decides there is something wrong with the internal SD card and it reformats it.
Has anyone tried to use their phone as their PC boot thumbdrive?
I have tried the YUMI and the old fashion single boot on pendrivelinux.com. It matters not whether I select persistent mode.
