    Did you only copy the files to the USB stick, or did you followed the instructions making a bootable stick?
    When you only copied the files, it will NOT work.

    You must boot (on another sytem) from the recovery DVD and choose the option to make a bootable USB stick with Linpus.
    That will work.

    Succes, Denis
