Comment 14 for bug 277903

After checking some howto's on making bootable flash drives, I think the possible cause of this problem is that a default installation of 8.10 has syslinux 3.63 instead of the 3.71 (the required version for the howto's). "If you use [a] version earlier than 3.71 to do the following command, the created USB flash drive or USB hard drive won't be able to boot correctly. "

If there's more to it than the syslinux version, then we could try running:
* "cat /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdb" # to install an mbr
* "syslinux -s /dev/sdb1" # to install the syslinux boot loader
Running the above fixed an error where I'd see "Boot Error" after attempting to boot a U3 flashdrive (that had been through usb-creator of course).
