Not sure if Patchstick is properly created under Win7. Won't load onto ATV #519

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run Patchstick Creator 3.0 on Win7 PC
2. Create Patchstick on 2GB flash drive
3. Windows Explorer shows 1 250mb file called ATV.img

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When I put the Patchstick in a newly restored ATV (3.0.1) and power up the 
ATV it boots normally to the standard ATV screens.  Nothing seems to load 
from the Patchstick.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Patchstick Creator 3.0, ATV OS 3.0.1, Win7

Please provide any additional information below.
Everything appears to be correct with the creation of the Patchstick but 
it won't load when I power up the ATV.  This USB flashdrive had previously 
been used as a patchstick for the free version of Patchstick.ca and that 
loaded perfectly.  I've since restored the ATV to factory and updated it 
to 3.0.1 but can't get the new Patchstick software to load.  What am I 
doing wrong?  The flashdrive is FAT format whereas Patchstick.ca created 
an Apple format.  If that's the problem, how do I use a Win PC to create 
the proper flashdrive?  Also when I started up the ATV with the 
Patchstick.ca there were a ton of Linux commands shown on my TV.  When I 
start this Patchstick the flashdrive access light flashes a few times and 
then the ATV starts normally.  Please help!  Thanks.

You seem to be creating the patchstick disk image but from what youve described 
your 
not imaging the drive. You need to restore the disk image to the drive with USB 
Image Tool - see the guide on the Wiki
