. . . but I cannot get my Asus G74 laptop to boot from the memory stick.
I can explore the stick from win7, and the files are there.
Tried going into my setup prior to boot, tried to add the usb as a boot device, but I don't see where that is working.
Is there a way I can edit the Grub Menu so I can make grub list Damn Small Linux and then have it proceed to boot DSL from a memory stick (NOT Flashrdive). Where do I begin? I'm stuck on the "root to" entry.
# This entry links to the DSL installation on my 2GB Memory stick

Am trying to boot from a usb stick.
I have a Alienware M14xR1 with 16 gigs of ram and nVidia GT555M with Optimus + Intel HD3000.
I installed my Ubuntu from a USB stick to another USB stick. Did not use the startup disk utility, and literally installed it on the USB stick after wiping it with diskpart in windows.
Hi there
I am a newbie in this area - I wonder if anybody can point me in the right direction. I am installing IBM Lotus foundations start (suse 10 linux distro) on a server without a cd rom drive and traditionally I have used an .iso image.
have flash cwm recovery and custom rom with s-on hboot 2.00.2.0 (from memory)
everything works fine but if i turn the phone off it wont boot past white htc screen until i go into fastboot and flash boot.img.
does anyone know why the boot.img won't stick after a cold boot?
Ok. For those whose reading comprehension is a little slow.... I created a boot stick with Ubuntu 12.04 to boot a machine where Windows 7 tanked in order to back up files. Boot stick doesn't work, telling me it is missing a kernel. Am using 64-bit desktop version. Have already tried re-doing the boot stick process, using installer, and that didn't help.
I used to have a great multi-boot system yet now on boot all I see is error: no such device: 383d0317-ed15-43f2-a5fe-96cd5b4d67b4. Grub rescue> The system had just been upgraded to Fed 17 via DVD, and the grub menu listed the current one plus the older kernels, and a Windows option (choosing that offered the Win7/XP windows boot menu, both of which were fine).
I used a usb stick with the installation iso image to install unbuntu on my older Dell tower. The model is Precision 380 it was being used as server, and before I got it, it didn't have an OS installed. It has a couple of Seagate Barracudas HDs in it.
