User Feedback :: Problem with usb key and floppy booting, boot fail
Hi,
I've put the usb version on my usb key ( apacer 256Mo ) and the img file extracted on a floppy disk.
Then I tried to boot with it, but when the floppy is read, only the message: Boot failed ( or something like that ) is displayed.
Thinking it was because I have installer lilo, I let the boot comencing normally, and selected floppy in the lilo screen, but always the same error is displayed.
My usb key is correctly connected on the computer, I've tried the 0.8.0 and 0.8.4 versions, without success.
The usb port where my key is connected is just near the usb-mouse, and under winxp I've a message telling my that the usb port is not a high-rate port, so, is the problem here ?
I hope you could help me, and you can understand me ( I prefere speaking french ^^ ).
Here are picture of my problem ;p

DSL is ont a usb-key, FAT format and extracted from the iso file
Try to write the image onto another FRESH, NEW floppy disk.
I see this whenever the floppy disk has sector issues..
It looks like it's not making it all the way thru minirt24.gz

Perhaps a mistake when putting files on my usb key ? :o/ is any file to replace in the iso when we put it on a cd key because here it's trying to access the cdrom ?
So.. finally I tried another live system, shinux and it work for what I wanted to do
