    I don't know if this is the case but I can fathom a hardware manufacturer protecting the track 0 of the device so that it would not be able to be corrupted by boot sector virusus and or render the device unable to perform its function. If this is the case, you will not be able to install any OS on it.

    You're better off using a real external hard drive or flash drive.
    see PenDriveLinux site for resources.
