Umm.. you know, if you download the "live CD" image you just burn a CD of it and boot off that and it does NOT install anything. Easier, I think, than messing with a USB unless you a) just WANT to boot off a USB memory stick or b) don't have a CD drive in the machine. :D

RH is more for the non-nob. Baby steps all the way! Thanks I will look that up. I have to get something tonight as I have a couple of drives that are acting flacky and want to see if linux will allow me to get to the data. Not a big deal but would like to get it back if I can. The PC was a retired game/archive machine that had a first gen PIII in it with a cheapy EIDE promise card. No RAID to worry about just needed to get more drives functional than the MB would have allowed. It was also a Tri-boot of 98SE/Win2000/WinXP. Thanks for the assistance.

On the download site it told me I had to put a USB installer from this site. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/. Has any one used the Universal USB Installer to get the ISO to run. I am not wanting to burn my Win 7 machine. I am also getting security warnings that this might damage the system. While I wait for an answer on this question I will go back to looking to see if I can find a different way to do this testing I want to do.
