Boot Error

Postby oaoutpost0 » September 29th, 2012, 11:59 pm

I used Sardu to configure a FAT32 flash drive (that is bootable) with fadora, ubuntu, and damn small linux. All of the ISO's are intact (they aren't corrupt or outdated or anything). Once I restart the computer and select the USB to boot, I get a boot error. (The screen is black, it says boot error in the upper left, and has a blinking _ just below it. Once I press a key, it starts windows xp from the hard drive. It tells me absolutely nothing else).

I've tried, with other software, partitioning the drive to set stuff up except I can never get this machine to ever let me access another partition to continue putting more OS on the usb (I can switch which partition is active all day long, restarting the computer, etc and it won't do any good). I've tried unetbootin which works great for any one OS, but I don't want only one OS. I've tried yumi but that doesn't work either. I get to a command line that won't start anything when I boot from the USB using yumi or it tells me to remove the usb and then it goes on starting windows (or one of the many programs I tried did that)

Any suggestions other than trying to reformat the drive, etc, because I've done that about 30 times over the past day or so (using various software and such).

Is it just me or does this universe want me to be able to only boot one OS per flash drive?
