Bug Description
Hello, I have made a bootable 8 GB pendrive using systemback. I have successfully installed the live system onto a samsung NP300V4Z notebook with Intel Core i5 2430M 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM. But now I cant boot from the very same pendrive. The laptop directly shows the GRUB2 boot menu (dual boot windows7 and lubuntu) although I have set highest boot device priority for pendrive. But sometimes (2 out of 10) the laptop is able to show the systemback bootmenu.
Later I tried to boot from the same pendrive from another old dell Studio XPS 13 laptop containing windows 7 but failed again. Although I select the pendrive as boot device the laptop starts loading windows 7.

The Systemback Live can boot with Legacy BIOS (Syslinux) and if you using 64-bit system, you can boot with UEFI (GRUB, without Secure Boot).
There is two known issues:
1 - Casper problem on Ubuntu 14.04 (or same), the version 1.340.2 cannot boot. You need to force the oldest version 1.340 (with Synaptic).
2 - Syslinux problem on Ubuntu 15.10 (or same). You get the "Boot Error" error message.
Please test your problem with another pendrive, I do not think that this is a Systemback bug.
