hi wolfgang, did finally get a key working but couldn't get your recommended method to work a friend showed me another way of doing it, which I'll quote here: thanks to puppy-rox http://www.puppylinux.org/downloads/official-releases/puppy-linux-40-dingo#comment-188 download http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ i downloaded the windows version - process should be the similar with linux version format your usb drive under windows (or delete all the files of it if already windows format) run the downloaded file unetbootin-windows-lastest.exe it should find your usb drive click on the diskimage radiobutton browse to your XO -live CD iso (must have it in iso format - cant use a burnt cd) click on OK wait till files are copied reboot off USB Drive
