When you boot from usb, look on you SSD. You should find a file "grldr" there because you installed a bootloader and grldr is the bootloader for grub4dos. Rename it to "ntldr", shut down, take out your usb and try to boot from SSD. If I am wright that the mbr of windows is still...

If you use the installer from Puppy, it is an option to install it. It is hidden at the beginning of your booting device and it is the first thing that starts, before the loader. That is the way "legacy" boot goes. Maybe there is no mbr yet on the ssd. Was there an os on it before? If not...

i formatted the the 8gb ssd ect Do you mean ext4? ext3 is also good, even better for Puppy. And did you set the boot flag on the partition? You can do that in gParted. Next thing would be to look into the menu.lst on the ssd. Something could be set up not quite right there by grub4dos. BTW, the iso...
