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
