Have you tried mounting the VFAT filesystem and getting a file listing to see what's there? How about running dosfsck on the filesystem's partition? I tried to mountr it as fat32, but linux says it has no knowledge of fat32, yet the target system is expecting fat32 only. FAT32 support is part of the regular FAT support. If your kernel understands FAT filesystems at all then it understands FAT32. Is this something I can fix with a fresh usb key? Probably not. In fact, this probably has nothing to do with USB at all.

Does your system support vfat filesystem? Does your usb drive be supported at Windows?
