I just finished trying that gold_finger. Didn't work. All I could see that was different was that I received several read errors BEFORE hitting the yellow splash screen with the feather, then got the splash screen, then back to command line to receive the same errors as before. It ended with the usual "unable to enumerate,,," error that I had been getting.
I have also been emailing with 2 friends and both of them are as stumped as we are. All of us have experienced not getting the USB stick seen at all, but none of us have ever had it seen, then disappear during boot. Somebody somewhere knows how to fix this. It's just a matter of one of use being on the right forum, or at the right place, to find whoever it is that knows the solution.
I think I should leave this unsolved, even though I managed to get Lite installed. If anybody searches for the phrase I have in the Subject and the thread is marked "Solved", they'd be kind of peeved to find out that I solved it by sticking an optical drive in the laptop. I got an email this morning from a friend that said he had an external USB optical drive he'd let me have to use on that laptop. That's fine and dandy, and I really appreciate getting it, but it sure doesn't solve the actual problem.
I am giving you a big Thank You for sticking with this like you have. Over the years I have belonged to a lot of online forums and it's unusual to find somebody on a tech forum like this that offers as much assistance as you have. Kudos to you, and to the forum.
Oh, let me know what you think I should do about marking as Solved or not.
