I assume that the MS OS filesystem is vfat. I do not have any vfat or 
ntfs filesystems to try, but ntfs probably would not work.
  I did not have problems installing from an ext2 filesystem that was 
freshly created.
Do you have any ext2, ext3, etc partitions that you could transfer the 
images to, that will not be part of your new installation.
