Do you mean the Initial Setup stage that comes after the installation is completed and you’ve rebooted from Qubes OS installer to your installed Qubes OS?

What’s the error?

No when we do the 2nd setup when we choose the os we need to install like fedora , debian etc and sys.net and other settings to start using qubes it starts installing but when it reaches dom 0 setup it stops and gives error can some 1 please help me understand what settings i do to install qubes

You need to post the error message for us to know what went wrong during initial setup.

See if you can get your hands on that log file (/var/log/libvirt/libxl/libxl-driver.log). You can do it with the Qubes install CD by selecting troubleshooting at the main menu then following instructions to get into a root shell, then decrypt your install partition with cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda?

PS: Is Qubes even supposed to work on pen drives? Last time I tried, the install seemed to go well but then my system didn’t detect it as a boot device.
