I re-downloaded and extracted isobooter and this time it worked, ive sucessfully booted bionic pup from a 32Gb pendrive that had been previously formatted to fat32 with gparted.

Previously there must have been a problem with the chair-to-computer interface.

Regarding adding an extra ext4 partition for pupsave, using the following partition table and your instructions above gave me an error when booting: "something-something needs to be contiguous to the instalation something-something". Is there a problem in using the following partition table?

500mb fat32 (*boot) | 500mb ext4 | 32-1GB fat32

Is this a different pen drive than the one you have working? Or did you resize it and add the ext4 partition?

I would make the fat32 partition much bigger (at least 2GB). Reformat it to get a clean partition and start over.

It was the same pen partitioned in a different way. it worked once i deleted the big fat32 partition and left it unallocated:

2gb fat32 (+boot) | 2gb ext4 | 28Gb unallocated

I successfully ran isobooter from another pen with puppy to prepare this 32GB one.

Once it was up and running, I reformatted the unallocated space to fat32 for extra storage.

Thank you for your time.

Excellent, Lekium! Excellent.

Ya'know, too many peeps unfamiliar with new methods "try once, fail & quit." Your persistence payed off.
