LkNsngth · 10-03-2005, 09:05 PM

I have a San Disk cruzer mini (256 mb) and the image for slax. I tried to mount it to my usb, but I am unsucessful. I tried WinImage but it didnt work. It is currently formatted as FAT. Any ideas to make a bootable USB drive?

you have the image but do you have access to individual files?
burn the image to a cdrw disk drive.
copy all contents of the CD directly to your flash drive.
Change your BIOS settings to allow for booting off of a usb port.

Wouldn't it be easier/faster to mount the iso & then copy the files to the San Disk cruzer mini?

I used SLAX Creator, and it worked fine. I just had to remember to set USB-HDD in bios to boot the USB pen drive...
