Hi Phillip,
If you have a Linux OS on your computer you can do this directly.
Otherwise, I suggest you boot TAILS with your live DVD. You'll be in a
Linux (Debian) operating system. Poke around, and delete the contents
of your flash drive. Try the directions in
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/install-a-new-mbr-to-your-usb-flash-device/
to rewrite the MBR. Proceed rewriting your flash drive with the Tails
installer provided in your (running) Tails.
I hope this helps.

I spent several hours yesterday trying to install Tails 0.22.1 on a USB stick
with only partial success.
I first used a live DVD to boot and then installed using the Tails Installer.
This appeared to work except my computer then wouldn't recognize it as a
bootable device. It's a new (1 yr old) Gateway PC.
I then reformatted the stick as Master Boot Record. It looked like Tails
Installer only allows GUID. From there, I used the Linux on a Pen installer
(forget the exact name). This worked and boots but it doesn't allow me to use a
persistent partition.
Any way to use Tails Installer to create a MBR rather than GUID partition?
