-   When I attempt to boot from the flash drive all I get is the word Grub. I have been able to boot various live linux usb drives based on Mandriva 2007, using vesa video mode. I have attempted to boot using the cd but loading the OS freezes half way through. I have downloaded the rescue dvd iso but don't want to use it to re-write the flash drive until I have exhausted any other solutions

-   What version of flash are you trying ?
Is this a official Mandriva Flash version (2008.0/2008.1) if yes you can get official paid suport direct from Mandriva experts.

-   Yes this I purchased it on tuesday. However I appear to be unable to get
official paid support without purchasing units. At this stage I am reluctant
to pay further for a device which doesn't work.
