Hmmm.  Only guess I have if the partition is setup wierd.  Maybe wipe
the MBR with dd and /dev/zero and repartition/format.  There is also a
utility for Windows by HP that can help partition/format the stick for
you.  Search "usb boot freedos" and you should be able to find it.

Will the stick boot on another machine.
