Hello,
When i boot from the usb I get the following error (written in french):
"Err. Disque
Pressez une touche pour demarrer."
The computer is american. The only french thing may be my usb drive. What should I do. Should I get another usb drive? Thank you.
Alex
Error - in French! - when booting USB drive
Try if it can be booted
Maybe get a translator
In Puppy terminal, command "cfdisk /dev/sda1" (or whatever is the name of your USB drive), and check if it is bootable - there must be "boot" shown along with the partition (USB must not be mounted in Puppy when you do this). Activate that boot (if not active yet), then Write (save). Reboot PC then install Puppy to USB.
See the link below for example view of cfdisk.

Could you share what make and model computer this is?
What brand and model USB stick?
Also, if the usb device is indeed bottable, what option in the bios are you using to boot the stick? USB-HDD, USB-ZIP, or just USB (depending on the age of the system's bios).
I bet the system has a legacy motherboard, hence the French bios message?

I love it when a plan comes together
