Never long before more trauma hit's my USB.
Well for a split second I was close to ripping my own arms off and feeding them to a duck!

Sorry for WAREZ mention but this test is taken with version 11 (WAREZ FREE) I gather.
SUMMARY OF PROBLEM DISCOVERED.
Today I Went to use the DOS PROGRAMS in hiren's to test a HDD in a laptop. Didn't work! error "HBCD folder not found". It was there and as far I can remember I have NEVER had a problem with HIRENS, it's one of the easiest things to get on USB ever and even it started my whole quest to make MULTI usb's.
I started to doubt my work.
So I took my 2gb test USB and flattened it with RMPREP and prepared as MSDOS disk
with no over rides (as I now do with all my projects) and then copied GRLDR from RMPREP and installed Grub4Dos to PBR! Same problem..........
WTF...so what's going on.........
here is the error in action!

It hangs at the CD driver part then errors with message on the right.
So I eventually going through all the changes I tried to remember I went back to PREPARING the drive as usual and this time installed G4D to the MBR and it works!!!
For the record I have tested a different formatting tool (bootice) and the same thing happens with that too, always has to be from a fresh format;
format disk, pbr install fail........format disk, mbr install works, can't just load between mbr/pbr without any format previous otherwise it wont clear the problem.
I also tested on three machines.

MAIN QUESTION
You may say, just use MBR then!
No can do as some of the machines I need to boot USB from will only allow me to boot when MBR grub4dos is in use.
I could boot the ISO I suppose but would rather not as I often use the WINTOOLS feature so need the flat folder structure.
Is the anything that can be done about this at all?
Fingers crossed gang
