Hi
I am the author of RMPrepUSB. It can be used on USB Flash drive or USB HDD (or even internal SATA/SCSI/IDE HDD).
I think the problem is that DOS (MS-DOS or FreeDOS) does not support the NTFS filesystem when booting.
To boot to DOS you need a FAT12 (floppy), FAT16 or FAT32 formatted disk.
Once you boot to DOS, you can load an NTFS driver so that you can access NTFS partitions, but you cannot boot from an NTFS partition.
