=== For Windows Users ===
Persons using PCs running Windows have two options for creating a Sugar/Blueberry USB flash drive:
::'''Option #1: Use LiveUSB Creator from within Windows to create a Sugar-on-a-Stick Live USB with a compressed filesystem.'''

# Stop your flash drive using the '''Safely Remove Hardware''' dialog and eject it.

::'''Option #2: (ADVANCED USERS ONLY) Create a bootable Sugar/Blueberry USB flash drive that does not have a compressed filesystem.''' This option requires at least a 4GB drive.
::::'''WARNING: MAKING A MISTAKE IN THIS PROCEDURE COULD WIPE YOUR PC'S HARD DISK!!!!'''
::# In Windows, download the latest version of the [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso Live CD image], and burn the image to a CD.
::# Follow the instructions [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/ZyX-LiveInstaller here] to create the bootable Sugar/Blueberry USB flash drive by (i) booting the PC into Sugar with the CD and (ii) running ZyX-LiveInstaller within the Terminal activity. You will also need a spare, blank (or erasable) USB flash drive -- preferably manufactured by a different manufacturer than the target USB -- to use as a swap drive during the procedure. Any data on the swap drive will be wiped.

Notes:
* If you do this often, you may want to download the Blueberry [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso CD Image] once. Then, when it comes to create the flash drive, hit the Browse button and select the downloaded file rather than selecting "Blueberry" from the menu as above.
* If you do Option #1 often, you may want to download the Blueberry [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso CD Image] once. Then, when it comes to create the flash drive, hit the Browse button and select the downloaded file rather than selecting "Blueberry" from the menu as above.
* Option #1 creates an SoaS that cannot detect when its drive space eventually runs out, causing stick failure.
* Option #2 creates a more-robust, more-stable drive whose free space can be monitored using the Terminal activity. Non-compressed SoaS drives, however, are not bootable with a boot helper CD.
