When I run makeboot.bat on a USB-connected hard or flash drive, I'm unable to make it bootable. The command window displays this:

Accessing physical drive: Access is denied.
Did not successfully update the MBR; continuing...

I assume that I need to reset some kind of permission for the drives, but can't figure out what. Except for this, there's never been any issues writing to any USB-connected drive on this box. Running Win7 / 32.

Thanks!

Did you run that as an administrator under MS Windows?
