When many of my friends use a USB flash drive to install Fedora 17, the screen displays the following prompt:
ERROR: cocould not insert 'floppy ': No such device
Loading Fedora 17 i686 installer...
Dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue

If you cannot install Fedora 17 using a USB flash drive to install Fedora 16, see this article.
Burn the Fedora 17 dvd iso to the USB flash drive with a soft disc UltraISO (see the http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2010-03/25036.htm for download), delete the packages folder (save space), and copy the iso of the DVD into the USB flash drive.
Then it appears
Dracut :/#
Enter the following
Enter the following command
Dracut:/# cd dev
Dracut:/# ls
Next we will find sdd, sdb, and sdc, which may start with sd, but generally sdb. Here you can see two files starting with sdb: sdb and sdb1, sdb1 represents your USB flash drive. Here we assume that you see sdb1 and my display is sdb4. remember which one you see.
Then reboot and you will see
Install or upgrade Fedora
Troubleshooting
Press the Tab key when the first item is selected (default ).
Append initrd = initrd. img root = live: CDLABEL = Fedora \ x2017 \ x20i386 quiet
Then you change
Append initrd = initrd. img repo = hd:/dev/sdb1:/quiet
Sdb1 indicates what you saw in the previous step, and click OK.
Note: This method uses a USB flash drive to boot the image installation in the USB flash drive. You do not need to manually partition the installation of Fedora 17 as 16.
