Those instructions look correct, and I've verified they work. What's the
URL to the image are you using?

I'm not sure if this may be the issue, but I've observed some U3 USB
keys have CD-ROM emulation, and it may be that this confuses that
particular step of the installer. Since I've uninstalled the U3 software
from my own USB key, (and have no desire to reinstall it, considering it
takes special, Windows-only software to use,) I'm without a way to test
this.
