I used to use a 4 Gb. USB stick loaded with UBCD4WIN 3.6 slightly customized with Acronis True Image Echo Workstation and some other stuff I own.
Now I wish to build a USB 16 Gb memory stick with my customized UBCD4Win 3.6+Knoppix 6.4.3 DVD+Ubuntu 7.1 CD.
For that purpose I first build a ISO DVD image, which worked OK, then using UBUSB.EXE(Thanks, pcuser) tried to build the USB and the troubles come up. I can't boot any Linux distro.
First I tried to build it with Grub4Dos boot option, then tried the Syslinux one.
This is the MENU.LST from the Grub4Dos version:

As you can see, no Knoppix nor Ubuntu menu entries are there, but there are two PE-Boot options plus commandline and floppy boot options which aren't in the DVD image (and I don't need).
Also, it lacks the Boot from Drive C: option which is also in the DVD build.
This is the /syslinux/syslinux.cfg from the syslinux boot option build:

Again, there are no Linux entries. Also note that the UBCD4Win entry is duplicated.
Here is the BCDW.ini file from the BCDW directory of the ISO image:

I surfed (maybe not too much) the forum and didn't find this behaviour, and do not have the knowlegde to convert the BCDW menu entries into the Grub or Syslinux boot.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Any help, please?
