[Dan S <danstowell+puredyne@xxxxxxxxx>]

worked fine for me. I had a brand new USB stick, used unetbootin, it worked.

However, a little bit later I tried aymeric's cat trick and it killed
my usb, made it fail even after re-unetbootin. On aymeric's advice I
used "cat /dev/zero > /dev/mystick" and that wiped the boot sector as
well as the drive, meaning that next time I used unetbootin it worked
again.

By the way saying "no luck" is unhelpful. Maybe you could have said
"It doesn't recognise the drive" or "It drops to a grub prompt" or "It
boots into windows 3.1". Only one of those matches my experience...
