If you have an older machine or you just want things to immediately work without fussing with the BIOS, you can burn a "Boot Helper" CD using the .iso below. This will start the boot from the CD, then read files from the USB stick: http://people.sugarlabs.org/sdz/soas-boot.iso.

Note that when you use this method your USB stick must have the label FEDORA. Name the stick FEDORA '''before''' running liveusb-creator. In Windows, you can rename a disc in the file manager properties window. This ensures the persistent overlay will be used when booting with the "Boot Helper" CDO.

On most modern computers its possible to set the target computer's BIOS to boot from USB so you don't need a CD at all!  Unfortunately this is slightly different on each computer.  Explore the setup screen for your system (press Esc or F1 while the computer is booting).  If you can't figure it out, search Google for information on your computer model's BIOS.
