As I understand, this is not possible: diskettes do not contain MBR,
disks do. And these schemes are not interchangeable.
"fdisk/mbr" just (re)writes MBR booting code, this neither changes nor
deletes anything other (partitions information). And FDISK do not deal with
non-MBR media by definition.

I don't mean inverse, I just says that FDISK doesn't helps in this.

With destroying previous content?
Yes. These destroy any contents of the USB stick and reformat it.
The HP utility will also write a FreeDOS kernel and boot sector
(or MSDOS kernel and boot sector) to the stick.
