    Unable to Load Operating System

    Hello, I will admit I am new to Linux. I've installed it a couple of times over the past few years though, but I've only played around with Ubuntu. So I am kind of a noob with this OS.

    Well I have a WD My Passport Ultra and decided I wanted to Install Kali Linux onto it. So I created a partition on it around 80 GB. I downloaded the ISO of the Linux system and created a bootable USB. I went through the setup process just fine, the installation worked smoothly. I rebooted my computer and chose my External Hard drive but it only comes up with a black screen and says "Unable to load Operating System"

    I have no clue what to do or what I did wrong. Someone please help this is driving me insane. I've tried installing it 4 times already.

    Someone please help

    Are you sure you want Kali linux? It is meant for hackers and pen testers. It is so L33T that it even comes with networking disabled by default so you can't even browse the web if you don't know how enable and disable services.

    Yea, I'm wanting to learn Linux and Network Security and Network Penetration. I'm not wanting to use Linux 24/7, just in my spare time

    What happens if you boot from the USB key?
