Subject: Re: Loading SL 7.5 from Flash Drive



Over the years, I've tried several different utilities such as tuxboot 

and unetbootin, with varied success.  More recently, a co-worker pointed 

me to Rufus...

It's easier to use than the alternatives, and has given me far fewer 

issues with various picky BIOSes not wanting to boot from the resulting 

image.



I don't know if this will solve your issue, but it's worth a try!
