Chaoticdude LQ Newbie Registered: Jul 2007 Posts: 1 Rep:	USB Boot help I am attempting to boot to USB to install Slackware 12.x, the machine I am installing it on does not have a cdrom for me to use for the install, which leaves me to boot to usb. I followed the instructions in the USB and PXE installers folder, however when I try and boot to my USB device it tells me "Disk Error press any key to restart" What do I need to do to make this USB device boot so I can install Slackware? If possible, just send me an IM (msn): Chaoticdude@cableone.net
