Jorge: did you reformat the new VFAT LBA partition?
Can you mount and read/write the VFAT partition with Linux?
I use several PNY USB sticks and mount/read/write them as VFAT without 
any problem.

Some USB sticks, e.g. Sony, use a proprietary file compression 
algorithm, but you probably wiped it out when you repartitioned the 
first time.
