I made a boot USB stick (4GB) using the information on the link.
Thing is I haven't tried it for real yet - but one of the steps formatted the drive as NTFS (was Fat32) - I'm not sure if that's a requirement, but you might want to verify it.

Initially, before starting the tutorial procedure, when you plug the stick into the USB port and go to My Computer is the stick listed as a drive?
In my case, the stick is the 'H' drive 8GB and shows up as disk 3
