[dba-Tech] make USB-stick bootable - statusl

I have used the TechRepublic article by Greg Shulz "creating a bootable USB 
flash drive for Windows XP"
that is:
I have a PC which can be set in BIOS to boot from an USB flash drive
I have a 16 GB USB stick
the procedure in above article is:
- extract the two files
  setupldr.bin and expand ramdisk.sy_
  from the Windows Server 2003 SP1
- run Bart PE-builder 3.110a using above files
- use PEbuilders pe2usb to transfer the files to the stick.

issues:
- pe2usb -f d: tries to format the stick as FAT for which the 16G stick is 
too big.

- formating the stick to FAT32 and then using the above without -f (no 
format) does not succeed in transferring the files.

- formatting the stick to NTFS allows the program to transfer the files, but 
the resulting stick does not boot (tried it on 2 different PCs)

next:
looking for a different method. Saw one that uses an HP utility to format 
the stick.
