 +==== Boot ====
 +
 +Plug your USB boot drive into the t5720 and power it on. During power-on, hit F10 to access the BIOS setup. Make sure that "USB" is the first boot device listed under "Advanced BIOS Configuration".

 +**NOTE:** I've noticed some issues when removing/adding USB devices with the t5720 connected to power. As such, whenever I swapped USB devices I also unplugged the power adapter.

 +If all goes well, you will be greeted with a GRUB boot menu. Enter ''linux expert'' at the prompt and hit enter. This will allow you to select your external USB hard drive when configuring your partition scheme.
