Unable to create bootable usb key installer

[Noremacam]

Hello I've been dying to try this operating system, and I normally create all my linux install discs using Unetbootin on my desktop to save cd's and because my drive is broke anyways. Every time I boot pinguy os from netbootin I get an error stating that it couldn't mount the filesystem.squashfs to /dev/loop0. I made sure when I tried it that the checksum was correct(kinda redundant since bittorrent does that anyways), and I also tried the 32 and 64 bit versions and got the same error.

Is there an "official" or other method of booting the installer from usb key?

UNetbootin should work, I have had many reports back with people successfully installing it using UNetbootin .

The only thing you could try is formatting the USB drive and trying again.

i can confirm this worked for me.
I formatted a 2gb usb pen drive as Fat32, ran unetbootin. Selected the iso downloaded from the pinguy os website. Unetbootin did the rest.

LiLi USB Creator also works.

Try wiping the flash drive (delete and re-create the partitions on it). And then try unetbootin again. From time to time I've found I have to do this.

Better still, format it and do it as FAT32
