Hi! Just a quick remark, the last time that I had issues booting from USB stick (for some antivirus boot tool) it was because the boot stick generator tool had failed to put a bootable MBR on the stick and mark the partition as bootable. When you KNOW that that is the problem, it is easy to fix with FDISK-style tools, FDISK /MBR etc. but of course take care to not accidentally zap any partitions on your stick or, worse, on some other drive. I think sometimes USB sticks also report as non-boot because they do not want to promise anything about speed of access etc. but I would guess that a BIOS will often feel free to ignore such pessimism ;-)
