Problem with install Damn Small Linux on USB pen


Hi.
I've download from the DSL official site the version dsl-4.2.5-embedded.zip .
I'm using Windows Xp and I've read the readmne.txt file but I've some problems during install DSL into my usb pen.
1)I've format my usb pen wit FAT system.
2)I've create a Qemu Virtual Hard Drive using the qemu-img.exe (I've call my "virtuall directory" LINUX (like the name assigned to the pen during the format).
3)After I've tryed to open dsl-vhd.bat but don't run. I've tryed also with 1st-boot.bat but don't run (the prompt start but immediately shut down)
4)I've tryed to open dsl-base.bat and run correctly but, whenI try to shut down and make a backup for save the file downloaded, I receive an error message that said that it can't make a backup.
What can I do for install correctly Damn Small Linux into my usb per and for save all the file downloaded for install program succesively?

Thanx to all for the answers!!!!!
