micro sd and adapter -> usb flash?

ok, hi all!

what im trying to do, is trick my pc intoi thinking that my micro sd card and usb adapter is a usb flash drive.

i have an alienware m11x (no cd drive) and i live in the middle of know where and i dont have a usb flash drive.

Im trying to install ubuntu but it wont work as it doesnt see a flash drive...

anyways, is there a program or a trick that will let me boot ubuntu from the sd card?

Thanks

Is this the type of adapter you are using?

You could download the Ubuntu Iso and use Unetbootin to create a bootable usb flash drive. Hopefully that will work. You have set your BIOS to boot from USB, correct?

 

yeh thats what i have, finally got it sorted, but the main problem im having now is with ubuntu itself.

Boots fine, then when preparing to install, it just hangs after i hit next, once its found my internet/power/hdd space.

 

Glad you got it sorted out. You might want to go to the Linux forum for your Ubuntu problem. Lots of helpful people over there.
