Administrators Hervé Posted December 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2021 Some external disks require more power than a single USB port can output on its own; in such cases, you may either use a cable that plugs in 2 x USB ports so that you bring more power to the disk or, if applicable to the disk, plug an external power supply. It really depends on what you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted December 7, 2021 Administrators Share Posted December 7, 2021 The zipped archive you posted suggests your config may be incorrect so do post a zipped copy of your actual boot loader's EFI folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
