After having spent several hours figuring this out, I believe some computers plainly refuse to boot from fat16 formatted sticks, while others are just fine and dandy about it.

From what I could dig up on the net, it seems some Atom hardware has problems booting from fat16 formatted sticks; the error message, in it's entirety, is "boot error".

Perhaps a warning to the user to re--format the stick to fat32, if a fat16 stick is detected?
