== Introduction ==

This page is designed to help you to put your [[Sugar on a Stick]] image under Windows on a thumbdrive. If you have questions, trouble or feedback, please let us know on the [[Talk:Sugar on a Stick|SoaS talk]] page. If you can improve these instructions, please edit the page and do so!

== Windows Instructions ==

The recommended process for creating a SoaS stick in Windows is to use the [http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ Fedora LiveUSB Creator], a cross-platform tool for easily installing live operating systems on to USB flash drives.

# Download and then extract the [https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/ Windows executable] for Fedora LiveUSB Creator. This creates a folder named liveusb-creator-''version''.
# Download Sugar on a Stick http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-beta.iso
# Insert your stick into a USB port.
# Format your USB stick using FAT or FAT32 format and name it FEDORA
# Navigate to the LiveUSB folder you extracted and double-click on the <tt>liveusb-creator.exe</tt> file to open the program.
# Browse to find the soas-beta.iso file that you downloaded in step 2.
# Set the Target Device to your USB device FEDORA.
# Move the slider to set some persistent storage. (''Hint:'' Set it high, then it will tell you how much space there is, and you can adjust it to the right point. How much persistent storage space you set will depend on the size of the .iso and the size of your USB. Make sure you leave some so that people can use the Journal.)
#:'''Note:''' persistent storage will save Journal items between reboots—but not after a Sugar system update with the LiveUSB Creator (in its current version). Watch this page for instructions on making your Journal persist between system updates.
# Click "Create Live USB". It will take a few minutes.
# When finished, '''be sure''' to properly eject the USB device using the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system tray. Failure to do this can render your stick unbootable.
