To be honest, the last instructions I posted were simpler and shorter 
than the rest of the tests, and even shorter than writing the emails 
:).

Anyway, if you are sincerely willing to dd an image, I am willing to 
prepare and upload a simple "test" image to dd to your USB device, 
with the following features:

_ One FAT32 (lba) "smallish" partition.
_ Alternative MBR, with bootable code but with no "active" partition.
_ The only intention of this image should be to successfully boot 
SYSLINUX 6.03-pre1 from your USB drive and then show a "hello world" 
message.

Are you willing to dd such image (*not* using Windows OS) and provide 
feedback?

Regards,
Ady.
