In the Menu Screen did you use Option 0) to Change the Setting in USB-Harddisk instead of USB-stick ?
Because that makes that rdummy.sys is used and this is essential for using USB-Harddisk.
rdummy.sys makes Fixed USB-Harddisk seen in XP Setup as Removable Device.
Read more about it in the Help File.
