Oh but when i make bootable pendrive of linux by some another app of windows i think the ISO file is being decompressed differently, coz when i tried to decompress ISO to a directory directly and putting all the files into pendrive's root, that pendrive was not bootable.

And when we make any flash stick bootable by some app in windows, first it will be wiped completely, so with the n900 , it will be wiped off too. Do we need to create partition here?

So is there anyway we can make n900 bootable without wiping it completely?

I hope i'm clear, what i want to say.
