Porteus Kiosk Edition install to HDD

I made my own .iso file with the Wizard. I saved it in isohybrid format. After that i try this command: dd if=/mnt/porteus_kiosk.iso of=/dev/sda1 . Everything seems fine. But, when I reboot and boot from HDD something wrong:
Reboot and Select proper Boot device....
My Bios settings is OK. Maybe my PC not support isohybrid? My motherboard is a HP IPIEL-LA3. What can i do in this situation, if my PC not working with isohybrid. Any other methods to install Kiosk to a hard drive?

p.s.: I found this: "and it will not work if you specify a partition number (e.g. /dev/sdb1)", so I try this command: dd if=/mnt/porteus_kiosk.iso of=/dev/sda , but it still not working.

burning to a drive instead of partition should work out of the box. if for some reason it doesn't (BIOS incompatibility?) then you may want to install any bootloader (syslinux, grub, lilo, etc) and then burn ISO to a partition -> create entry for kiosk in the bootloader config. have a look here for a sample:
