I used a very cheap 32GB USB stick - maybe that was the cause of my

/dev/sdb . Maybe that was my error?
Today I successfully installed F17 (x86_64) from a 4GB USB stick. I
dd'ed the DVD ISO image to /dev/sdb (and not sdb1).
A couple of days back, when I tried it the first time, I accidentally
started dd-ing to sdb1. Then I aborted the process and then dd'ed to
sdb. It was mounting fine and all files were listed, but the PC won't
boot from it.
I used a Sandisk Cruzer Blade drive which had some weird GPT partition
table for some apps that came with it. Anyway, I used 'parted' to
remove all partitions and create a new msdos partition table.
Oops.. I forgot to mention that I first 'erased' the disk completely by
doing:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb
Took way too much time..
