Your pen drive needs a boot sector and an operating system.
1.) Format the Pen Drive using HP format tool found
HERE. It's a 2 MB download. There is also a link to Windows98 system files. You need those if you want to boot your computer in MS DOS from your pen drive. The above method will not let you read/write to NTFS drives.
2.) If you want to boot a semi-functional windows from your pendrive you need "BART's PE Builder" found
HERE, and a windows instalation CD (the list of supported Windows versions is found on the same site). "Barts pebuilder" is designed to create bootable live windows CD-s for system administrators and "geeks", there is a small .BAT file in it that installs it on your pen drive. Read a few readme files and follow the instructions on the web site.
3.) If you want to boot Linux from your pen drive visit this web site
