:* If you do use the format and reset master boot record arguments, you'll want to specify the target device name and not a partition, that is <code>/dev/sd*</code> with no partition number, instead of <code>/dev/sd*1</code> as in the example above used to specify an existing partition. ''As noted above, confirm your target disc device name&mdash;in this case, it is VERY DANGEROUS to your other discs if this is entered wrong, as the whole disc will be reformatted and a new master boot record written causing all previously written data on that disc to be lost.''

===with Microsoft Windows===
 +
In Microsoft Windows, one may use the '''Fedora Live USB Creator''' from [http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/#Download FedoraHosted here], (but one will not have the full optimization of data storage allowed by installing a separate, persistent home directory).
 +
* Plug a blank target USB flash drive (or SD Card) into your computer (1 GB or greater).  (See [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Category:Live_USB#Cautions_with_using_Live_USB.27s Cautions with using Live USB] regarding flash drive size.)
 +
* Launch Live USB Creator.
 +
* Select the Browse button to 'Use existing Live CD' and find the downloaded .iso file image on your system.
 +
* Adjust the Persistent Storage slider. This enables you to save changes to the system and Sugar Activities onto the device.
 +
* Select your flash drive as the target and click the '''Create Live USB''' button.
 +
* Wait for the process to finish, then close the Live USB Creator program.
 +
* Stop your flash drive using the '''Safely Remove Hardware''' dialog and eject it.
