USB booting :: Noob:   stupid thing won't boot



I'm having a problem, my  usb stick that i burned with the livecd won't boot.  These are half the error messages:  if you need the rest, tell me:

linuxrc:  /bin/mkdir: not found.
linuxrc: /usr/bin/du: not found.
linuxrc: /usr/bin/gawk: not found.
linuxrc: /usr/bin/gawk: not found.
linuxrc: /bin/mount: not found.
[: 800000: Unknown operand
Copying cdrom to ramdisk
linuxrc: /bin/cp: not found.
copying knoppix cdrom failed  Ram disk possibly doesn't have enough space. Cat no file /KNOPPIX/etc/ld.so.cache

Since I had to write the errors on paper, they are in my own words.

Does it look like the problem in the image in this post?

If so, try disabling USB 2.0 in your BIOS so that your USB ports only work at USB 1.x speeds.

Okay, I will try that.  Thank you very much!
