I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I follow the exact instructions on their website. I copy the boot and porteus folders to the usb drive, run the windows install and it says it is install on the usb drive. But it will not boot to the usb drive. I have gone into bios, but no bootable usb drives are to be found anywhere. I have set my hdd to boot last on the list. I have formatted and reinstalled on the usb drive 5 times already and it will not work. However it boots from a dvd containing the porteus iso, BUT I cannot do anything the mouse will not work, the keyboard will not work. I have to pull the plug to shutdown from there. I specifically want to be able to boot from the usb drive, not from the dvd and usb option the website said works. I want to be able to carry porteus around with me wherever I go on the usb drive.
Does anyone have any solutions to this, to make the flashdrive actually bootable and bios to detect and boot from it? Its 4 gb and has plenty of room for the 486mb porteus build. I do not see why it would not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Please know that this is my first time with linux...
Thank you for your time.
