Hmm OK, that's just weird :S

Might be a stupid question, but: did you select "Stored in reserved extra
space" and move the slider to the right?

Also, perhaps you could give it a try at another PC? If the problem isn't in
the USB flash drive, it might be in the computer, as that's the only thing
that might differentiate the steps you followed from what other people did
(where it did work for them).
