Got it working now by pre-formatting the pen drive to ext2 and linux-swap. I then set the flag to boot on the ext2 / and then selected another MBR boot loader So far very impressed - although this rubbish Dell laptop (quite old now only has 512mb ram) likes to overheat very quickly and is very loud ...
