TCL on a pendrive to run an Asus EeePC 1000HA?

Please consider using a live linux system (live cd for example) to create your usb sticks. dd under windows is much more difficult to understand and handle properly.

Curaga-
What actually is a ive linux system". I thought that all these linux distro iso files were "live", in the sense that they can be run without a full installation on a hard disk? Am I wrong?
I have no external CD for my netbook and no way to get on right now. I'm a New Yorker currently in Argentina, where all computer things are hugely expensive.
And it's kinda fun figuring out how to use all these tools, and learning what formatting and blocks and partitions and MBRs are all about.
Cheers!
Mike

On the subject of dd
One thing I forgot to say about dd.exe is that apparently doesn't have the --partok operator available in the linux version of dd. This could be troublesome if writing to a partition on a usb stick. Who wants to use an entire 4Gb stick for a 130Mb iso?
But maybe they've eliminated --partok and made it the default if you don't specify anything else. Also, specifying the number and size of blocks to copy may resolve the lack of --partok.

You could partition first and then have dd access per partition.
