I guess you are using the 8.10 version with make bootable usb facility?
I have also been using this, at first with many failures. I discovered
that the process will happily accept a fat16 formatted stick but this
will not boot!
My solution was to format the stick fat32 before I started, then even
if it was formatted again in the process, (or not) it always worked
:-)
