I have a 8GB flash drive with Slax 6.1.2 SO installed on it, so I can use that in almost all computers I use to access my files and programs with my configurations.

BUT I have one serious problem with my notebook: I cannot use Slax on boot (I can use it in VirtualBox 4.0.12 following @harrymc instructions on "How to boot from a flash drive OS using VirtualBox?" question).

Perhaps it is something about drivers. I tried changing some bios settings and using some command on boot, but with no success. I would like to use it in that way because VirtualBox limitations...

Any help from you?

You could try creating a bootable copy of PLOP bootmanager, boot from there and then connect your Slax live key. After that select the USB option from the menu and you should boot normally of your flash drive
