Booting from USB

[imported_soultaker666]

I have been trying to boot from my USB thumbdrive but everytime I get to the "Looking for data directory" in the main boot up screen (After I choose the KDE gui)it freezes and will not continue to boot. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this? I have also tried other boot up options and it freezes at the same spot.

is your BT3 on your base directory?

I have the same problem, my bt3 folder is in the base dir of the usb dongle, and everything seems to be correct. when i boot i get this error message.

Fatal error accured - slax data not found.
You are maybe using an unsupported boot device (eg. scsi or old pcmcia)
workaround: copy the directory slax from your boot device to an IDE/SATA
disk, eg. To /mnt/hda1/slax or c:\slax. Then try to boot again.
Something went wrong and we cant continue. this sould never happen.
Please reboot your computer with ctrl+alt+del ...

Actually its a tiny bit diffrent but its because this error is from my ophcrack, but it gives me the same error and its the same type of boot configuration etc etc etc.

I have used the dongle for other uses regarding booting etc, but this way of installing dosnt seem to work..
iv checked both isoes (bt3 and ophcrack) and they work if i burn the iso to a cd.

How is your thumbdrive partitioned and formatted?? I've had it do that to me when I forgot to format it fat.

You have to create a changes folder on your drive. I have step-by-step info on the partitioning etc. on my blog n00bhacker.blogspot.com . Use the table of contents on the top to get to the page you need.
