I want to install Ubuntu 14.04 on USB stick, then install some drivers and programs on it and use it when I need.
I have one USB stick with Ubuntu 14.04 that I have used to install the OS on other PCs. The second USB stick is USB 3.0. I have both of them plugged in my PC and boot from the first one.
During the installation I have formatted the USB 3.0 drive to Ext4 and install the OS on it. It took a long time (about 4 hours). Unfortunately, after restarting the PC and trying to boot from the USB 3.0 I am getting the following error:
error loading operating system
Also, I have Windows 8, Ubuntu 14.05 and Ubuntu 13.10 on my PC. I have restarted again hoping that he Ubuntu installed on the USB 3.0 will be found, but it had not been.
Could you tell what I am doing wrong?
The USB 3.0 is 8 GB.

the very likely cause is that the computer has not been set to boot from the USB. Go into the bios (f2 on most computers) and go over to the "boot" section and move "USB device" or whatever it is called on your computer to the top by the method that the bios explains (sometimes "f5 is down f6 is up" or "u/d")
I am doing this. I am choosing to boot from the USB 3.0 and getting this error.

does the computer support usb 3.0? Or more importantly, does it support 3.0 as a BOOT device. I've seen some that support 3.0 as storage, but only mainly because of software hijinks. The bios on those isn't modern enough to support booting from 3.0

Mount your USB 3.0 stick and take a look at the files, using
ls -l
If you see MANY permissions of "?", you likely have a corrupted filesystem. This happened to me on a USB 3.0 8G stick on a Toshiba Satellite S855 (about a year ago). I could successfully install to a 4G stick (no swap, and blow by the complaint of not enough space, there is enough). I could not successfully copy the 4G to the 8G either (when in either USB3.0 or USB 2.0 ports, but on another (older) machine using two USB 2.0 ports, the copy to the 8G stick worked, and has run flawlessly for a year. Never figured out where the problem was, since there were too many new things (USB 3.0, the stick, the PC).
I have not got any permissions of "?".

Hello and sorry for eventually write mistakes. I ve had some problems during installation ubuntu on a usb dire and roll like a hard drive. To successfully install and boot, rool to from usb I successfully use below steps.
I used for test a 16GB 2.0 usb stick and a 4Gb usb stick with ubuntu image on it
Use Uefi boot from bios for a easy installation.
Start your pc and click on install ubuntu, after few seconds in menu select "something else" option and you will enter the drive menu.(language and other options during installation select as prefered)
In this menu my usb was listed as sda/sdb
create a 4500gb partition as primary and select in the menu ex4 and "/Boot"
create a new partition after that as secondary also ex4 but only "/" in the window option
after that you have under the sda/sdb, sda/sdb1 (listed with "/boot") and sda/sdb2(with no mentions)
down the menu select BOOT LOCATION on sda/sdb1 (this is the "/Boot" partition) is very important
after that click on sda/sdb2 after that "continue" that it
stand back and relax
Tips: I didn't use the internet connection during installation. Don't forget to click to encode option for music players etc/
This worked for me, though I don't guarantee this work for every pc.

Hello and sorry for eventually write mistakes. I ve had some problems during installation ubuntu on a usb dire and roll like a hard drive. To successfully install and boot, rool to from usb I successfully use below steps.
I used for test a 16GB 2.0 usb stick and a 4Gb usb stick with ubuntu image on it
Use Uefi boot from bios for a easy installation.
Start your pc and click on install ubuntu, after few seconds in menu select "something else" option and you will enter the drive menu.(language and other options during installation select as prefered)
In this menu my usb was listed as sda/sdb
create a 4500gb partition as primary and select in the menu ex4 and "/Boot"
create a new partition after that as secondary also ex4 but only "/" in the window option
after that you have under the sda/sdb, sda/sdb1 (listed with "/boot") and sda/sdb2(with no mentions)
down the menu select BOOT LOCATION on sda/sdb1 (this is the "/Boot" partition) is very important
after that click on sda/sdb2 after that "continue" that it
stand back and relax
Tips: I didn't use the internet connection during installation. Don't forget to click to encode option for music players etc/
This worked for me, though I don't guarantee this work for every pc.
