I typed this in at the Command Prompt:
C:\Documents and Settings\My User Account Name (I prefer to keep it private)\syslinux\win32\syslinux.exe syslinux.exe -m -a -d /syslinux e:
and this came up:
Usage: syslinux.exe [-sfmar] [-d directory] <drive>: [bootsecfile]

Reason: To finish the thing
yeah, I don't know about windows dude
how did you initially install fedora 11 to usb
you didn't burn a cd?
so, how?
1: I went to this link: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pu...-i686-Live.iso
2: I downloaded it onto my hard drive
3: I downloaded Fedora Live USB Creator
4: I created a Live USB with it.
5. I came to you because when I tried booting from the USB I had the problem.
I might know what to do, give me a little while, and I'll post the results!
Ok, I don't know if this is going to be smart: But should I (and if I should then how) delete everything on the USB Drive, then try redoing one using a non existing iso, and try using to boot?
(What I tried earlier didn't work.)
