The file names of the contents of Puppy Live CD on Windows OS may see such as like,
PUP_431J.SFS, ZP431305.SFS, VMLUNUZ, INITRD ...
Correct file names are,
pup-431JP.sfs, zp431305.sfs, vmlinuz, initrd.gz (as for 4.3.1JP)
The charactor following 'pup' is a hyphen-minus(was underbar at v4.2x and older).
The live CD works with no problem even the file names shows odd on Windows OS if you reads this document(README.HTM) on CD. A popular mistake in burning '.iso' file is the case only one file 'PUP_431J.ISO' can be seen on the CD.
The odd file names make trouble if you try to copy them on HDD or on USB drives. We recommend to extract the '.iso' file downloaded with an archiver like ７zip if you need to copy the Puppy files.
