My CPU is AMD Sempron 140, motherboard ASRock N68-S and 2GB RAM.

Which one of these setups would you prefer?
ORPage 12 for a better way to keep your save file/folder on the flash drive.

No you didn't. Slacko boots with ISOLINUX!
What I handed you more or less automates what Backi posted.
For the page ten method, I can only guess you did what most novice users do, fail once and quit.
It's *persistence* that gets you places in this world.

You formatted FAT32 and set the boot flag, right?
Good.
Here I would ALWAYS remove, then replug the drive.
You then unpacked and ran the isobooter script.
Good.
Yes made it bootable.
Then you copied your ISO, rt-clicked, "Window >> Terminal Here" and ran "sync".
Good.
Then you fired the script again and answered "n" when asked to make bootable.
@ the following screen your answered "y".
Now..
Now if you already have a Precise save file on this partition, great. You can reboot.
If you don't and the Precise boot causes any grief, post back.
It may need a "pfix=ram" addition on the end of your kernel line.
Done right, get back with the words I wanna hear.

BEFORE continuing with #6, click on your Precise ISO and copy your "puppy_precise_5.7.1.sfs" TO the partition in your "pdev1=sdaX" statement.4. Delete the "chainloader" line and replace it withNote that "pdev1" ends with the digit "one" and "X" is the number of the target hard drive partition.Code: Select all
kernel /vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pdev1=sdaX initrd /initrd.gz
THIS PARTITION NUMBER RELATES TO THE DRIVE WHERE YOU'VE PLANNED TO CREATE YOUR FIRST SAVE FILE.
5. Save and unmount the flash drive.
6. Shut down and make your savefile on partition sdaX. Also copy the main SFS file(s) to sdaX.
7. Reboot.
Now if you already have a Precise save file on this partition, great. You can reboot.
