boot error after installing F9 live on pen drive

Dear All

I am trying to install Fedora 9 Live on a pendrive. I used the usb-livecreator
under Windows XP. The process seems to be ok, but then when I try to boot from
the drive, the machine hangs with the: "boot error" message.
The machine does have the capability to boot from the pen drive.

I did this before with fedora 8, and it worked OK, then I tried with
Debian 5.0 Live, and from there on it seems  that the drive has been
messed up. In fact, the only way I found to get rid of that debian was
formatting the drive (FAT32) under Win XP.

Any help (apart from trowing away the drive and getting a new one)
will be greatly appreciated

Antonio
