HoLy SmOkEs. It was there all this time. To the right. I'm computer illiterate but after this I think I'm now classified as computer retarded.

Ah I'm about to just give up. Now my work computer won't burn a cd. alsdkfjalsdjfalsjdf;lajksdfl;jasdl;fkjas

Is there a simpler way around all of this?

I could send you a custom cd or DVD, no charge
Or you could burn it on home computer with imgburn.
Is there anywhere near you that sells linux cd's?

Looks like an NTFS Windows partition.

My home computer is my laptop, the one that I'm trying to install linux on a USB to boot up. I have linux on a cd and it boots up my laptop and works great...except for the net. I would have to do a full install to my hard drive to get the net (that's what I'm told). Then I was told to just install linux to a 4G flash drive and I did. Which leads me back to the beginning of the thread. LOL. I feel like I'm going in circles.

What is a NTFS Windows partition?

Here's some other questions:
2. Is is possible I can't start up from my USB?
3. Does my hard drive have to work at all?

Hey,

Take a look at
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-lin...-from-windows/
It shows howto install mint on usb from windows.
I would suggest to start from scratch.

I ran accross the same problem a while ago. You need to setup your MBR using lilo. Do not use GRUB - it may not work. Also you need to specify the command linear (I think its linear), so that lilo will read the MBR in linear mode instead of random mode used for spinning disks. It is very important to know this or you'll spend hours, like I did, trying to figure out why your CF (compact flash) will not boot. I was able to narrow it down by installing Windows98 MSDOS on on the CF and it worked so I knew that there was nothing wrong with the MBR. So I narrowed it down to GRUB or lilo - the later worked fine.

I already did what that link told me to do. That's why I'm posting here. I will check out what you said tomorrow guys. Thanks.

I don't know what MBR, GRUB, lilo, linear mode, CF all are. Sorry. I will make my signature now. I know what to put. lol.
