Most likely, that pendrive is not bootable.

I jumped back into my windows partition to do mine. Used winimage to get the USB boot image onto the pen drive, then IsoBuster to copy the DSL iso over, including the directory structure. It is booting OK, but i'm getting

Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
Is there a line set to boot off the CD-rom that needs to be changed to /dev/sda, or something?

Pen drive is formatted as Fat. I've tried Fat32, but I got a rather blunt "Boot Failed" message.
I've also tried using the meun option after booting from a CD, but it doesn't work, and sometimes it won't start at all.

Hello @ all,
after months of working fine, my usb pendrive doesn't want to run anymore so i got to set it up new...i downloaded the (at that time) current version 1.2.1 and burned it (as i did with the older version 0.8), following the steps earlier posted in this thread...but the new version could not be started from usb in contrast to the old version...maybe the new pc i got the last march is the cause of it...the automatically installation makes the same problem...i will test on weekend on my own pc (the "installation" pc is the one at my company)..has anyone problems with the installation using a computer from hp?

so long, happy weekend :p
