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?
