Jump to Postwhat for do you want to make USB drive bootable? i mean do you want to install there windows or linux? It's possible if your MoBo supports booting from the USB, check it out at first. And i strongly recomend don't change thumbs file system to NTFS, leave it FAT.

Presently, you are stuck using FAT-16 because most computers will not recognize a flash drive as being bootable if the drive is formatted with anything other than FAT-16. But if you succeed using another file system, let it be so.:)
