Maybe i should give you some more details. i formatted the stick after i had 3.8 on it. then it gave me the message "invalid or damaged bootable partition". i thought i fixed it with some commands like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 count=1 bs=512 and creating a new partition table with fdisk. when try to make create a new partition with n in fdisk it's recognized as unknown in qtparted. and when create a fat16 partition its not even recognized in fdisk. anyway, i did syslinux /dev... and put the files from boot.img on the stick. when i try to boot from the stick it hangs. when do fdisk on the stick after trying to boot, it tells me there are 4 non-linux damaged partitions on it. qtparted still recognizes either unknown or fat16. i used install-mbr too. nothing seems to help. is it possible to damage the mbr or whatever so bad, that the stick can't boot anymore ever? please guys, i'm freakin' out here. what else can i do?
