This guide shows how to use LiveUSB-Creator to create a SoaS (Sugar on a Stick) Persistent USB in Windows
<br>
==Getting Started==
Live-USB Creator for Windows ([https://fedorahosted.org/releases/l/i/liveusb-creator/liveusb-creator-3.11.7-setup.exe here])<br>
Sugar LiveCD/USB .ISO files (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Downloads here)<br>
Please prepare a hard drive ('''''Backup any important data!''''') for SoaS, the <b>liveinst</b> will probably format the entire hard drive.<br>
USB flash drive (2GB+ free and backup any important data)<br>
<br><br>
===Installing Live-USB Creator===
Open "liveusb-creator-3.11.7-setup.exe", it should open to a new window.
<br><br>
[[File:Lusb000.png]]
<br><br>
The installation size (not the .ISO file) only needs 28MB, if the "Space Available:" is less than 600 MB and you haven't downloaded one of the .ISO files, please consider freeing some space on your hard drive. Then click the "Install" button.
<br><br>
[[File:Lusb001.png]]
<br><br>
After the installer tries to create a shortcut, a new window should popup. Click the "Yes" button.
<br><br>
By now, the following window should popup. Click the "Browse" button to look for the .ISO file you've recently downloaded.
<br><br>
[[File:Lusb002.png]]
<br><br>
Since the version I downloaded was i686, I'm going to select "Fedora-17-i686-Live-SoaS.iso" and click the "Open" button.
<br><br>
[[File:Lusb003.png]]
<br><br>
Make sure you selected the right .iso file, the window should now say "*filename* selected".
<br><br>
[[File:Lusb004.png]]
<br><br>
Click on your "Target Device" to check whether you've selected the corresponding Drive Letter ("F:") or name ("NEW VOLUME") for the USB flash drive and make sure you've made a '''''copy of any important files that maybe on that USB flash drive'''''. Then click the "Create Live USB" button.
<br>
'''''If your "Persistent Storage" slider can't be moved. Check if your USB flash drive has more than 1.8GB or it will fail.'''''<br><br>
[[File:Lusb005.png]]
<br><br>
When your LiveUSB is ready, the window should say:<br>
<pre style="white-space:pre-wrap">Fedora-17-i686-Live-SoaS.iso selected
Verifying filesystem...
Extracting live image to USB device...
Wrote to device at X MB/sec<br>
Setting up OLPC boot file...
Installing bootloader
Complete!</pre>
<br><br>

<br><br>
If it gives errors, please read below for further instructions <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>.<br>
Congratulations, you've got a LiveUSB with SoaS!
<br><br>
===Running SoaS (LiveUSB) on your computer===
Make sure that you've turned off your computer (any hard drive that needs to be swapped should be swapped), you have to boot into the USB through the boot menu (you should see an option when you turn the computer on).
<br><br>
You should now see the following boot screen.
<br><br>
[[File:Sugar_BootMenu.png]]
<br><br>
When you hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard or it started automatically, you should briefly see this on your screen.<br>
'''''Please note the difference between LiveCD and LiveUSB is the ISOLinux and SYSLinux. You should see SYSLinux.'''''
<br><br>

<br><br>
After the loading bar reaches the end, you should see this screen below, type your username into the box and click "Next".
<br><br>
[[File:Uname.png]]
<br><br>
Select your color (optional) and click "Done".
<br><br>

<br><br>
If you see the following, then you've successfully entered Sugar with a LiveUSB.

Make sure you USB flash drive is connected, click the "OK" button and the the LiveUSB window should popup.<br>
<nowiki>[*]</nowiki> The USB flash drive needs to be MBR formatted (Master Boot Record) and its boot flag enabled. <br>
