Re: Error booting from USB flash drive - Fossapup64

Clarity In my first screenshot I typed in the mount command and it displayed the information. However, I could not see any of the physical HDD attached eg sda3. I guessed the information was the details of the DVDRW that I was using loaded in RAM. Does that make sense? So I click on the sda3 drive ...

Desktop widget in Fossapup64 9.5 [SOLVED]

Hi there
Can someone let me know what this widget is and if it can be edited to show less/more information?
Also, I have a i3 cpu which is dual core however onscreen I can only see CPU0. Is this correct? I had guessed that it should display the individual cores.
Thanks!

Re: Error booting from USB flash drive - Fossapup64

Just an update....
The OS appears to be working well. As noted before the audio appears not to stick and the keyboard map is stuck on US. I did delete the localization files so only the UK was present but that appears to have made no difference.
Apart from this all is good.

Re: Error booting from USB flash drive - Fossapup64

Woo Hoo!! I have finally managed to get this working. What I did was to burn the ISO as a mult-session disc using Windows (CDburner XP) and not finalize the disc. Once I had completed the hardware setup I then shut down and it allowed me to create a PupSave file on the disc. Booted back up and it lo...

Re: Error booting from USB flash drive - Fossapup64

My intention of using the OS was to be able to boot from my USB flash drive and save the work onto the same device.

If this is not possible, should I just boot from the LiveCD and then create a Save File on my HDD?

Thanks

Re: Error booting from USB flash drive - Fossapup64

rockedge I have followed your suggestion of creating the two partitions and then moving the contents of the ISO onto the second partition. All seem to be progressing well but then Grub4Dos failed to work for me and informed me it would "Kill" (?) the session. Attached are some screenshots.

Re: Error booting from USB flash drive - Fossapup64

Thank you all for kindly replying back to me.
I will try to answer the questions posed by all.

@Bigup
I only have a single USB drive attached to the PC.
I have attached the BIOS screens in the zip file. AFAIK there is no option for Fast Boot.
Yes, I do not use hibernation at all.

Re: Error booting from USB flash drive - Fossapup64

I have followed the instructions in the "Reading Guide" thread https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5192
which suggested using Rufus and creating a Persistent file. Unfortunately, it also failed.
Shame :roll:

Error booting from USB flash drive - Fossapup64 [SOLVED]

Hi all, I am a first time user of Puppy Linux and have downloaded the Fossapup64 ISO and initially use a CDR to load the OS. The LiveCD did work well and I was impressed that it figure out all of the drivers for my PC which was my greatest fear. I did want to try to use a USB flash drive (4GB) to in...
