I have downloaded a couple of Puppies to my Acer laptop and have had some issues with creating a bootable USB combo thumb drive. How can I go about transferring the .iso to another machine that 'might' be more agreeable? Can I simply put the .iso on a thumb drive and load it into a different PC?
Thanks,
Joe

If you have a cd burner why not first burn the .iso to the cd, boot it then from there use the puppy "universal installer" and install it to your USB that way.
Re: Moving .iso File to Different Computer
I did that and it works fine on my Acer. I have several older PC's that don't like to boot to a thumb drive in the "normal" manner, so I was trying to create a "Combo Format" thumb drive using the BootFlash, but it didn't work. I started a thread elsewhere about it and had some excellent help from Bigpup as he walked me through the procedure. We are thinking it may be a hardware problem, so I want to give it a try on a different machine.Amgine wrote:...

Have you tried changing your boot device priority in your bios? 1st boot USB, 2nd boot CD, then hard disk at the end?
