Unhappy USB Booting failed


I was trying to boot puppy linux in my computer trough a bootable USB, which I made bootable trough the sudo dd comand.
I'm not new to linux, I started using ubuntu, then started testing trough diferent distributions, but as I was going to test puppy linux, I couldn't boot from my USB, I'm using fossapup for 64 bits, and when I booted and selected fossapup in the booting menu, it showed this:
waiting for USB storage..... done
FInding puppy main sfs file failed
I don't know what to do, I already tried disabling secure boot, and tried bionicpup (with and without secureboot) I checked if my system is 64 bits (it is) and I don't know how to solve it.

Hello, Montanoski, and welcome to LQ.

You're on Puppy linux, I gather. You got to give us more details before we can help.How_To_Ask_a_Question

Post Details

Hi, I use an Asus Vivo Book 14, and its serial number is ____. I'm using a 2.0 4,2 GB USB for the booting, If I check the files in the USB, I can see the main sfs file named ____. I've created the boot through UNetbootin, YUMI, and sudo dd command, but none has worked, since I always get the same error. I'm downloading the ISO file from http://puppylinux.com/index.html#download and tried with FossaPup64 9.5 and BionicPup64 8.0, and the currents operating systems I've been using while trying to install Puppy where: Linux mint 20 64 bit, Deepin community 20 (also 64 bit) and elementary OS Hera (5.1.7).
