Hallo Markus,
I got your question forwarded to me by the Tails-support mail list. Did
you setup your computer's BIOS to boot from your USB flash drive?
I believe your OS to be running Windows. If not, you must find a
Windows machine because the below suggestions will not work on Linux
with Wine.
Maybe my own question of March 5 to the mail list could further help
you. (At least partially.) It follows below.
--------------------------------
I want to be able to run Tails on public library "windows" computers
without rebooting.
With this in mind, I installed tails-i386-0.22.1 to a 4GB flash drive
with Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.2.exe as described in "Using a
Portable Virtualbox to run Linux from USB" by www.pendrivelinux.com.
However its installer did not display its -otherwise included-
opportunity to set persistence. I emailed Pendrive about this; they
answered: "Obviously Persistence feature is unsupported for TAILS."
However, I know this is not true. Most likely it is due to VirtualBox
on which their application depends.
I completed the USB installation on the public library's Windows
computer. The resulting flash drive boots from the BIOS, but Tails is
without persistence.
So, the question remains: "what must I do to achieve my original goal."
On reflection, a new iso file of a Tails version with a permanent
built-in persistence capability may fool the installer. However, there
may be better ways.
I would appreciate any suggestions on this matter.
BTW. I tried also Tibo's "LiLi USB Creator" with same results.

Hello Tails support,
I am trying to boot Tails from my USB stick , but it does not work. I
choose my USB from which my Computer should boot, but he is just booting
windows over and over again. At the beginning it shows something
different, but nevertheless he boots Windows 8(Samsung). I am not able
to try it on another computer and never been able to start it on my
computer.
I used Unetbootin to put the Tails ISO image on my USB.
How do I make sure to with legacy windows and with uefi. I think it's
already configured like that.
Thank you for the support.
