not valid FAT fs
hi I'm new to this, and already havin some trouble :(

I tried to make my usb pen drive bootable with sysliux, but I got this message:

syslinux: this doesn't look like a valid FAT filesystem

But I already formatted the usb pen drive int FAT16 fs with cfdisk AND
with qtparted (in both cases I got the same message).

Anyone that could help me about this?

You have PARTITIONED it, but you haven't FORMATED it. Run mkdosfs on the
created partition first.
