i have a macbook c2d with a bad hard drive - mechanical failure
i want to use the live cd to install a copy to a usb until i get a new hd
i burned u 8.10-64 and tried to boot from the cd but it after i get past the boot settings and splash screen keeps trying to initialize my hard drive (which of course doesn't work)

is there some boot setting i need to use to get u-live load into ram
i have 2gb of ram which should be enough
