Well, syslinux.com *thinks* there is a partition there:

read_mbr(15,000031a4) rv(0861) = 0000
Searching for partition offset: 00000020
                                ^^^^^^^^

Either way, it would be good to know what the partition table looks like.

S.W.: do you have the ability to create a binary image of the first 128K
or so of your removable device immediately after format?
