Are you sure there's an MBR on the drive?

syslinux comes with an MBR you can use. On Ubuntu, it's located in
/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin.

  cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdX

    (NOT sdx1, just sdx)

...which will install the MBR onto your drive. Also, make sure your
partition is flagged with 'boot', but looks like you've already done
that.

If the MBR is working, you should get the three letters "MBR" printed
on your screen briefly when it starts booting off the flash drive.
