Simple USB problem yet complicated :)

[joshiley]

Hello I am back again with a problem

Recently i have installed USB version of BT4 on my moserbaer usb flash drive.

I used unetbootin for acheiving my goal....

The problem....

When i plugged that Usb in my lappy ...the drives it showed as

/dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2 which means it is denoting the drive as "c"
i.e /dev/sdc
i mounted everything and it worked great... since i made this to be a persistent OS so i have to edit few things in my boot folder ...here are they

/boot/syslinux
edited in syslinux.cfg
...root=/dev/ram0 rw changes=/dev/sdc2....

just to make sure that all the changes should be stored in an ext2 partion mounted as /dev/sdc2...

/dev/sdc1(FAT32) is used for storing all booting related files and other stuffs...

Now since the sole motive of usb installation is portability...

so for a change i plugged it in my friends pc

and all changed were gone all stored data and all...

when i enquired little bit....i found that PC has recognised the usb drive as

/dev/sdb ...i.e assigned the letter "b"

so that line which i edited in syslinux.cfg has no use....

now i am wondering even if i add another line saying add location /dev/sdb2... that wont do any good because if i have two or 3 removable media then drive letter keep on changing ....

i thought as putting a wild character there "*" instead of any specific drive letter so that my changes become persistent......

So can u guize guess what i am missing.... any help would be appreciated...

Note to Admin and Mods: I am still trying to avoid chat slangs and short stuffs ... .. so plz forgive me for any mistakes
