No, it should work on devices as well. What worries me is that you had pasted dd erasing whole device and this would destroy the MBR as well and then it might not be a MBR issue. If you: dd if=/dev/zero of=<your usbstick> partprobe parted mklabel <your usbstick> msdos It still fails? If yes, please paste the output. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
