You mean you tried with syslinux.exe from the current Syslinux 6.03, and
it gave the above error message?  Most strange, I only found the "Could
not write the whole boot sector" message in the code, not the other
bits.  An idea: disable all antivirus and similar programs.  Or even
better, boot a live Linux system, download the current Syslinux and
install with the Linux tools.  You'll probably get better support for
those.
