First make sure that your motherboard supports booting from usb.

If it does then download Yumi
Plug in your pendrive.Format it in FAT filesystem.
Run the application goto the 'drive selection and distro options' page.
Select the pendrive from the dropbox.Then select 'try an unlisted iso' from the list and browse to and select your opensuse image and click create.

Never tried it myself but i think it will work.

seems like your pen drive is faulty or the installation is corrupted.
yumi should have done the job.
nyways, try UNetbootin - Homepage and Downloads

If nothing else works you can use Virtualbox and install Opensuse within windows.

There is nothing wrong with my pen drive. I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 & Linux Mint 10 from my pen drive, it's just that OpenSuse is giving me headache, and also I have tried unetbootin but it just hangs when I select live KDE or Installation.
