Obrigado Telma, mas sem problema.
O "Rei dos Caletos" tem "Home delivery" so I order plenty of chicken.
By end of the week I am sure I wil be able to walk to the supermarket,
thank god I still have the crutches (moletas).
Stefan comes to Recife 3. de Outubro and stays for 3 weeks.
By then I must be totally OK. (Mais ou menos ;-) )

As far as I know unenetbooting does not work with our iso's, its a long

Thanks everyone for your replies,
I think there might be a hardware issue somewhere. The laptop detects
USB sticks (and e-book readers) and reports that the device isn't
bootable however the USB hard drive is simply ignored. So there must be
some subtle difference between the mechanical drive and a USB stick.
The Internet is awash with tutorials on how to create a bootable
external drive but, in my case, unless the external drive is mounted
it's not detected and the BIOS is set to boot from an external drive.
I'm reluctant to try my drive on someone else's computer because if
anything goes wrong, even six years later, it will be my fault.
I don't think Tuxboot or DD would offer a solution.
You might find the ext hd is a bit slow at initalizing and spinning up to
speed, a usb drive does not have to spin up disks. Try powering on the laptop
and if it does not see the ext hd do a soft reboot (ALT CTRL + DEL).
Also make sure the bios is set to boot ext usb first before looking at other
boot devices. If you have the ext hd plugged in and powered up while in the
bios screen it might offer you the ext hd IF you are very lucky!
