You could try using Unetbootin
but be careful with it and make sure it's picked to install to usb
Unetbootin sometimes has issues as well
but it will probably be successful at installing syslinux to the usb
and then if it somehow screws up the install
you can delete everyhting except syslinux
ldlinux.sys

In windows?
I guess you just drop n drag the folders, etc from usb to trashcan
Did you ever use Windows?
Yeah I can't wait to use Linux though, here's a little log of what I'm Doing:
1. Delete everything on the USB Drive (Completed_
2. <Use LiveUSB to make a liveUSB, try to use the liveUSB (1) if it doesn't work then install syslinux (2) (In Progress 1/2)
3. Love Linux, but don't love it more then my awesome God!
4. Get used to Fedora, but don't forget how to use Windows (I shouldn't forget, I have been using it for years now --->Sadly, but it helps me help people with their computer problems
*Goodness,this takes so long not using an existing iso.
Don't swear please.
I have like 760 but my Free Space is low, that's why when this completes I am going to take my USB Drive out and free a little space (to get up to atleast 200 MB, yeah that little, I think I have a virus taking up a lot of my space)

that'why I said to use the lxde version of fed11 usb
you can do that later,
I have 758mb ram and it does it in 4.5 mins
-Does LXDE look anything like Gnome?
-OK i'll download it, but do you think I could fit it on my USB Drive and then create the LiveUSB with it from the USB itself?
Step 2 Complete!
Let me try booting!
Attempt 1: Failed (I might know the reason, attempt 2 and 3 I have some ideas to see if it fixes problem)
Attempt 2: Failed on my computer but on another computer it worked. Thank you for all your help! Hey you don't mind if I add you as friend do you?
