Try having only the boot flag on the first partition sdb1.Ok - I just gave this method a try (first time I have used it) and was happily able to create a bootable usb stick with two isos on it. It works nicely in my main Toshiba laptop.
However - it still won't boot my Acer Aspire 5720Z so I need to carry on and try other methods.
The Acer says the stick is not bootable - (even though I have set the first boot device to USB-HDD) and it asks me to insert a bootable floppy and press any key.
Thanks Bigpup - just tried switching off the lba flag but still no boot. Maybe I need to try reformatting and reloading the isos again in case the lba flag upset the contiguity right at the start. Will add that to the weekend list.bigpup wrote:Try having only the boot flag on the first partition sdb1.
Do not have it flagged as boot, lba.
Hi puppyluvr - I don't think you are the only one - I suspect that syslinux is going to be the choice that gives me the greatest overall compatibility with my range of hardware.puppyluvr wrote: So I'm the only one..
IDK, but syslinux works great for me.
Most of my more recent puppy installs were made using Grub4dos - however I seem to run into a problem where Grub4dos tells me it cannot see any frugally installed puppy in my chosen partition, only a fully installed one - and it then creates a menu list which is wrong. I have to manually rewrite the menu.list to get it to boot the puppy.rockedge wrote:run GRUB4DOS and select only the usb drive,then follow the steps and install the MBR
I had not heard of Lili before - I just had a look and if I am viewing the same product that you are referring to it seems very powerful - even allowing booting on Windows 8 - 10 hardware (if I understand it correctly...).tlchost wrote:Lili works great....i use it all the timePelo wrote:.

oh yes...it is very automatic...perhaps why it has worked for for puppy and other OS.greengeek wrote:
The one thing I don't like the look of is it seems a bit "automatic" for my liking and has it's own methods of setting up "persistence" - probably great for certain other Linux distros but I don't think I am going to be comfortable with it.
Are you running Grub4dos config from a full install of Puppy?rockedge wrote:

This is a difficult question to answer - my pup has two sfs files - the main puppy.sfs and also another personal.sfs which is layered above the main puppy.sfs (which would normally be top layer).bigpup wrote:Are you running Grub4dos config from a full install of Puppy?
If yes.
Grub4dos config has a bug when run in a Puppy full install.
It does not make a working menu.
