Doug; 1.)Booted from CD soas03 with native zyx-liveinstaller (14-1?) used 4Gb USB in hp Pavillion Laptop with Turion64 (came with vista premium) hard disk removed.
4Gb USB erased and then formatted "unformatted" with on zyx partitioner, did not select anything but / as sda1. It wrote and said successful completion. But on reboot with USB::: "Missing operating system' (on looking at USB for 2nd try with zyx partitioner: it looked unchanged from before I erased it. (One fat16 partition.) Is this how it should have looked?) 2.Next tried: partitioned USB: 100 fat16 /boot 3000 ext3 / balance linux swap selected all three in zyx It worked fine. 3.) Also used same 4GB USB to boot EeePC900 wirelessly. Worked fine So does not seem possible to use "unformatted" for type to do install on 1 partition, Unless I did something wrong.
