I did not follow the previous thread but are you putting the iso file on the key or are you extracting the iso content to a folder on the key...?
USB drive was created using Fedora's LiveUSB Creator which I believe extracts the ISO content. However, viewing the original ISO shows the filenames are already truncated, so I don't think it would had made a difference if the ISO was placed on disk or extracted.
If you want to create an installable version of the 6.5 DVD onto a usb key, do it like this:
dd if=<path_to_iso>/ of=<device>
so, if I was in the directory that has the iso and if my usb key was /dev/sdc (note, do not use a partition, but the device name of the key ... this makes the key ONLY a copy of the DVD and all other content is lost), then I would use this command:
dd if=CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso of=/dev/sdc
Then boot from the usb key.
Obviously there is some issue the extraction process on the filesystem / os you are using and the loop mount and / or the livecd creator you are using ... as our ISOs do install and the files are named properly on them to get them to install.
