Format
a USB flash drive with default settings (fat32). (or not, its probably
okay like it is)
Download the preferred ISO puppy linux file. Open it - and copy the files to the root of the USB drive. (actually, you only need these: vmlinuz | initrd.gz | puppy_slacko/tahr_whatever.sfs | zdrv_slacko/tahr_whatever.sfs) On the USB drive, make a folder called "EFI" and a folder INSIDE called "boot". (EFI/boot) Download the files bootx64.efi, and grub.cfg. Copy the file "bootx64.efi" to the USB drive's "EFI/boot" folder. Copy the file "grub.cfg" to the root of the USB flash drive. Boot the PC and immediately tap boot key to get into boot-menu. Boot from the USB flash drive and enjoy Puppy linux :-) ----- oh and ---- If you get the error message "Windows hibernated partition" - press ctrl-alt-del - reboot into windows. Right click startbutton and choose "Command prompt as administrator (or Windows Powershell(Admin)" and type in: powercfg -h off reboot (This turns off hibernation in windows - type "powercfg -h on" to turn it back on) ---------- If u get an error message when trying to boot from USB flash drive - go into bios and set "Secure boot" to "Disabled" - save / exit. |
