Make your USB pen drive - a portable & bootable Operating System with Racy Puppy with two steps.


A pen drive or any flaash drive with a persistent operating system is useful.

If the computer's operating system cannot boot up, a flaash drive OS should detect its files to save and maybe even get the boot up problem fixed.

A pen drive OS that works from RAM and has encryption is comparatively more secure than a hard drive OS.

A good pen drive OS can be used on most computers, old and new.

I recommend Racy puppy. It is the only portable os that I've been able to use to easily get connected to the internet. If you have Dialup modem then try Warry Puppy.


1. You can download it from below page.
  
https://puppylinuxnews.org/home/new-racy-puppy/    


   It is a ISo image of racy-puppy. To tranfer this ISO to pendrive, we need one software to do this.


2. So download unetbootin from below page.
  
https://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/


So now run unebootin as shown in the above page & make your USB Pen drive a bootable with portable OS. i.e. you can boot from any machine that have bootable option from USB. Now-a-days most of the machnes have many bootable options including USB.

When you start your machine you can see the option to Boot e.g. some will show F12 to have boot options, others may have F2 to boot or you need to customize your bios setting to work with bootable options. For this you may contact your admin to change this setting for you.

You requried atleast minimum of 1 GB pendrive & 8GB & more will be good to store other files on pendrive.

Enjoy new bootable pendrive experience on many machine you worked.

Racy Puppy is a free operating system and a special build of Puppy Linux meant to make computing easy and fast.

Racy Puppy enables you to save money while doing more work, even allowing you to do magic by recovering data from destroyed PCs or by removing malware from Windows.

With Racy Puppy, you can carry your programs and data anywhere.

Just use a CD or USB flaash to boot a PC. Racy Puppy is downloadable as ISO, an image that can be burned to CD or DVD or USB.

It is Fast - Because Racy Puppy is small, it can live in your PC's memory and be ready to quickly execute your commands, whereas in other systems, programs are first read from drive storage before being executed.

It Saves Money - Even if your PC has no hard disk (ex, broken hard disk), you can still boot racy Puppy via CD or USB and continue working. Old PCs that no longer work with new systems will still work good-as-new with Racy Puppy.

Racy Puppy boots in less than a minute, even in old PCs, and it does not require antivirus software. You just have to take care of your data, which you can easily save to USB flaash (Then forget about your operating system!). Your data can be read by other computers.

Help your friends suffering from computer malware by booting Racy Puppy and removing malware from their PC (use antivirus that is built-in or can be installed in Racy Puppy). Example - bad Autorun.inf is easily removed by Racy Puppy (Just delete it as well as its companion exe program). If your friend thinks that he\she has lost data from her corrupted hard disk, boot Racy Puppy and try saving his\her data!

You can carry it anywhere (Portable), because Racy Puppy is able to live in CD/DVD or USB flaash, as well as save data to these same devices, you can carry your programs and data with you.

Are you now ready to use Racy Puppy?

You don't have to install Puppy (to hard disk) to use it. Simply burn the ISO to CD/DVD/USB and boot the PC or laptop with it.

You don't have to save data to hard drive to work with Racy Puppy. You can save data to USB flaash or even to Internet storage (like www.drop.io ).

When installed to USB flaash, Racy Puppy consumes only a little over 100 MB, or about 256 MB with other Office software. You can use the same USB flaash (where Racy Puppy is installed) for saving data.
