Even if the install went through properly, Freenas would put too much stress on the USB key to make reliable for the long run. Free avg install without internet connection. SSD is by far the most reliable so far, and you get the benefit of performance as well. There is no problem installing ubuntu on big hard disks. Just be sure you have installed Grub properly to the /boot folder. If not sure you may reinstall it first, in ubuntu it is very easy.

Ubuntu Install Bootloader On Partition

I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 by creating a USB Boot Disk. I am using a 500 GB External Hard-drive ('Elements'). I get through the first part of using the start-up disk creator. I select Ubuntu 12.04 'Precise Pangolin' as the ISO, and my external hard-drive, which has 150 GB free, as the disc to use. I hit 'Make Startup Disc'. It asks me for authentication before I can copy files, and that part works. Then after copying files, it asks for authentication again to install the boot loader. At this point, it immediately says 'Failed to install the bootloader.' Any idea why I am having a problem?
