Puppy on USB - boot says "missing operating system"
I have done no mistakes.
My BIOS boots from the USB.
I downloaded puppy 5.0.1 iso and burned it to a cd.
Then booted from the cd and used install to set it up on a usb.
It didn't work ...
I am a complete newbie ..... please Help me
Also please suggest some other distro for a usb

What do you mean when you say "it didn't work"? Are you able to boot to other USB devices?

It definitely recognizes the device as bootable ..... but shows the message " Missing Operating System"

when you put puppy on the stick did you give it the flag that names it as a bootable device?
i dont know if this helps but on my box every time i want to boot from usb i must choose that option in boot set-up. it sounds more like you didn't make it bootable
