I checked the code again. I should've done that before my reponse.
The partition type in the MBR should be set correctly, unless something blocks it. I've added a check so the format will fail if the MBR isn't updated correctly.
What about the anti-virus option in the CMOS, could that block the MBR update or is that only for the system drive?
Is it possible that the drive you used was initialised using a GUID partition table instead of MBR?
The code doesn't handle that. I'm not even sure if USBLoaderGX can use drives with the GPT. This could be where the real problem is. I'll try to add code to update the GPT, it shouldn't be too difficult.
If it is a problem with the GPT, it would explain why using another partition manager would fix it since they probably use MBR by default.
