Can someone explain a little more in the intro as to how sugar on a stick will work with a windows machine?  Do you boot on it?  Is it some sort of virtual machine?  Is SoaS for windows a linux OS?

#: See [[olpc:How to Damage a FLASH Storage Device]] before formatting.  The 'Stick' probably came with a FAT file system that the Fedora LiveUSB Creator will use.  You can even leave some of your files on the drive.  You may want to try using the native drive formatting to see if it works before reformatting the drive.

: Thanks FGrose! They are slightly clearer - at least it says something like "Do Not Do unless fails without." Perhaps the detail I was looking for belongs on the http://wiki.laptop.org/go/How_to_Damage_a_FLASH_Storage_Device page? MWTalbutt
