My own issue is that I can create a stick which either boots as a big

I'm not sure what you mean, but in general you have to decide if you're
using floppy emulation or hard-disk emulation; it doesn't make sense (to
me) that they can be interchangeable? It's a bit like El-Torito vs CD-ROM
A: drive emulation - two different things...
I mean that I can make the stick work under one or the other boot types,
but not switch back. It's some sort of low-level formatting or
partitioning issue. I switched two sticks from their original ability to
boot as USB-ZIP A: to USB-HDD C: while I was working with them, but I can't
get them back into USB-ZIP boot support now. Reformatting and/or FDISK
partitioning doesn't do it. The two boot types are mutually exclusive,
either the stick boots one way or the other. And right now, that way is
USB-HDD as C:. I have one USB-ZIP A: booting stick left, but it's my
original with a lot of debugging and development files on it and I don't
want to lose the one working A: boot as a sacrifice to testing.
