I have now gone through this exercise.
everything was as expected, except for the last step, where the BartPE has 
to be put on the stick with the command

pe2usb -f d:

here it tells me the stick is too big (it is 16 G) and it is FAT32 and it 
cannot be formated to FAT or FAT16

also, when I try to format it in explorer, it only allows FAT32

now what? any idea?
