• "Error: Specified CD-ROM disk or image file is neither ISOLinux-based nor floppy emulation mode bootable CD-ROM; thus it cannot be converted", trying to convert flash drive on XP using 3rd party software called flashboot. I have a hundred blank cd's at work, and none here. will try again tomrrow --Phalseid 07:22, 13 Dec 2006 (NZST)

It's better to use an image that is designed to work on USB. There are some subtle differences between ISO9660 (cdrom) and USB format. USB installation from a host OS is tricky because it depends on windows. My thought was to include a USB installer in the CDROM distribution. You boot with CD then use that OS to install on a USB. Remove the CD, plug in the USB then reboot, this time booting fromm USB. --Rob 08:14, 13 Dec 2006 (NZST)

Also, that error is incorrect. The image is ISOLinux-based. I wonder what assumptions the software is making in this case. --Rob 08:16, 13 Dec 2006 (NZST)

I emailed their support to see what is up. --Phalseid 02:41, 14 Dec 2006 (NZST)
