If you read the other thread (titled "Preparing a USB key for installation") I have some tips. In particular, you don't need to dd the drive and remove the partition table.
Thank you Evan. Infact, just after posting my message, I saw your thread. I was going to sleep so couldn't test your steps out, but I will definitely do so today evening once I get back home. Makes a lot of sense -- you diagnosis and also the steps. :) Will post my results later ... Regards, Rakhesh
