I did understand it perfectly. I just don't know the answer. There are plenty of other places to look for this information. Have you tried the "Linux Device Drivers" book?

I think you need to read up on the basics some more before starting to write anything. You will need to understand how USB devices work, how partition sectors work, how boot sectors work, and how the FAT file system works, among other things.
