Puppy on USB - boot says "missing operating system"
I have done no mistakes.
My BIOS boots from the USB.
I downloaded puppy 5.0.1 iso and burned it to a cd.
Then booted from the cd and used install to set it up on a usb.
It didn't work ...
when you put puppy on the stick did you give it the flag that names it as a bootable device?
i dont know if this helps but on my box every time i want to boot from usb i must choose that option in boot set-up. it sounds more like you didn't make it bootable
