If you read the other thread (titled "Preparing a USB key for installation") I have some tips. In particular, you don't need to dd the drive and remove the partition table. When you use the diskboot.img file you will remove the partition table from the disk. This is normally OK, but your BIOS might not like it. In any event, you won't be able to use the full space on your drive, so I recommend you use GRUB instead. -- Evan Klitzke
