I was following the guide at https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/ to do this, and sure enough it claimed the partition wasn't bootable, so fdisk to toggle the flag bootable yet it still didn't boot. Any subtle nuance anyone might know to do this?
Thanks! jlc

Did you follow the steps outlined at: https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/wiki/ImageFlash
It includes instructions on how to mark your USB partition as bootable using "parted".

Well, I used fdisk assuming it was equivalent after reading that. I guess I can install and try parted, do you think it makes a difference? jlc

If you use parted and get it to work then I'll assume using fdisk doesn't work the same as parted. I didn't use fdisk when I encountered this problem previously.
