Title:
  [Fujitsu Lifebook AH532] Installing Ubuntu on a USB-drive locks out
  firmware access

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've been running pre-installed Windows 7 on a Fujitsu AH532 since
  2012.

  Two weeks back, I installed a Live-USB with Ubuntu 14.04. All working
  well, but I struggled getting it persistent, so I decided to do a full
  Ubuntu installation to another USB-drive. Leaving my Windows hard
  drive untouched.

  
  What I did:
  1) I entered my "BIOS" to change boot order, and booting from my Ubuntu Live-USB.

  2) I tried following the  installation guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS, but sizes were changed to: 
   - 1MB BIOS Boot (pretty sure I left this unformatted,but it now reports as Ext4)
   - 666MB EFI System, FAT32
   - 30GB Linux Filesystem, Ext4
   - 999MB Linux Swap, Swap

  3) I installed Ubuntu on a second USB-drive. Leaving my Windows hard-
  drive "intact" (?)

  
  The result:
  Now, I can only boot my machine by inserting my second full-installation-USB-drive. 
  I cannot boot Windows, and I cannot boot from my LiveUSB.

  If I boot without inserting my full-installation-USB-drive, I get the
  boot screen telling me I can press F2 or F12. However, none of these
  have any effect, apart from making the beep. Then the computer enters
  the "Boot menu" (as well as the second menu "Application menu").
