How I got DSL working on my notebook (after a day of playing around with this):
Using: Lexar USB Jumpdrive 128 MB (purple color), WIN XP, WinImage, Daemon Tools
1) Format drive by right clicking on it and using the built in windows formatter. Select FAT.
2) Use winimage to write the bootusb x.x.x.img file
-> - Opening the .img file in WinImage
- Go to 'Disk' and select 'Use Removable Disk E:' ('E:' = USB Key)
- Then go to 'Disk' and 'Write Disk'
3) Exit winimage.
4) Mount the dsl- x.x.x.iso with daemon tools(at least thats what i used) You should see like 4 or 5 files(boot folder, knoppix folder, an .html file, etc....)
5) Go to My Computer and explore to your usb drive.
6) You should now have 2 windows open. One with the contents of your usb drive. A second with the contents of the .iso you just mounted with daemon tools.
7) Drag ALL 4 or 5 files(sorry i can't remember which it was) to the usb drive from the daemon tools mounted window. There should be NO asking if you want to overwrite files because none are duplicates.
8) Restart your computer and choose to boot from usb. On my laptop, I press ESC at the bios memcheck screen(the mostly black one you see when you first start your computer). This gives me a window with 3 boot options(at least for me)
1) Lexar Media USB
2) My hard drive
3) My cd-rom
9) I select the Lexar option and see a black screen saying "syslinux 2.04 blah blah blah....."
10) Then I see a screen that says 'press enter to begin" so i hit enter and Walla! A bunch of pretty green, purple, and blue text springs forth, as well as a cute penguin
