![]() Your SSD is (again guessing.) probably formatted with with a GPT table rather than with a MBR. UEFI doesn't know that it's a Kali distro, it just executes the boot loader from the MBR on the USB. Why isn't it loading the Kali SSD drive if it will load a live thumbdrive?Hi - the reason is probably (can't tell without seeing the thumb drive) because your thumb drive is formatted with a MBR and UEFI falls back to legacy compatibility mode -i.e. As a test I made a quick Kali Live thumbdrive and it booted fine. I have been all over the BIOS turning off and on secure boot and Legacy Mode. I get an Error Loading Operating System message. However, when I try and boot into it with a new Dell G5 I got from work it won't boot. A USB 3.0 drive will be faster than a USB 2.0 drive, but still much slower and less stable than running either OS in a virtual machine application like VirtualBox if you allocate at least 2GB RAM to the guest OS. I have a full OS installation of Kali on an external SSD and it works fine on a little HP netbook. Minimum requirements for the size of the USB flash drive are 2GB for Ubuntu 14.04 and 4GB for Kali Linux (regular).
