Can't you do a backup onto a flash drive?

Can't you do a backup onto a flash drive?

TECHNICALLY: yes
REALITY: NO

you see Windows uses Either NTFS format or Fat32/64. it can read that and a couple of others like CDFS (CD Format). Linux however almost always uses all extensions of EXT, such as EXT1 EXT2 EXT3 and EXT4. Ubuntu and Linux Mint(What i use) is formatted in EXT4, Fedora uses EXT4 but gives you the choice of EXT3. WIndows can neither read or write to EXT1, 2, 3, or 4. thus my files are unacessable. and Live CD's can't read it cuz I encrypted my Home folder. so I Have to restore the original GRUB so i can login (Which decrypts my Home Folder) and I'm having a hell of a time doing that. lol

You see in my case MBR Has moved itself before grub and overwrote grub.

MY Home Folder is encrypted and can't be read unless i login through my original OS Which Decrypts upon login.

This is because you installed windows second right? Windows fucks that shit up. You have to install linux second in order to have a fully functional GRUB before MBR. :3

Yes. I don't know what was going through my head.
