Hello i have a problem i am trying to boot from my Toshiba USB Drive 16 GB on my Dell Inspiron N5110 Laptop But it says ''an operating system is not found try disconnecting any driver that don't connect an operating system '' However my cousin has the similar usb drive with different size and it lunches normally

In the past I have tried to install an operating system on a Dell machine which was not on media supplied by Dell. It refused to load and I assume there is some sort of "test" inbuilt.

Hi

how did you install operating system on usb drive?
what operating system?

If Dell Inpiron is new enough to have uefi bios it may offer 2 choices at F12 boot menu
uefi 16GB usb or
16GB usb

most programs making usb bootable do not support uefi
programs I use
pe2usb
rufus
there are several others including the Microsoft Windows 7 program to put a ISO of Win 7 onto USB memory drive

many laptops & PC's have problems booting from USB 3.0 ports but work on USB 2.0 ports

Modern Dells boot off any Windows or Linux USB or CD or DVD but may lack correct SATA AHCI drivers and not see the internal hard drive. (Usually only a problem with XP)
