Surprised this hasn't even been looked at! Tried twice to format a USB stick (already containing a Ubuntu startup image) resulting in a disk that doesn't mount in Ubuntu or Windows. Luckily finally found command line instructions to reformat but shouldn't have to. Should be marked critical and f

My stick had no partition table. It was preformatted and all used in FAT32 (4Gb). Had to create a partition table and a primary partition in order to use it.

I figured I'd add this in, based on what Alex said on comment #8. To get a functional stick, I first deleted all partition tables using fdisk $ sudo fdisk /dev/sdg and then created a fat32 partition, using full space in gparted. Doing this, allowed me to select the /dev/sdg1 partition in usb star

I've come across this error a lot of times lately, the first time it drove me to assuming my usb disk was corrupt or some such.

I agree that this should be marked critical; this is seriously frustrating! I tried the workaround suggested by Bryan (above), except that I just used mkfs.vfat to make a new vfat filesystem on /dev/sdb1. And I haven't been able to make usb-creator-gtk go yet. Pretty upsetting; regular humans woul

Confirm the above fault as the program not handling raw /dev/sdb partition. Workaround is similar, but I used gparted to create a new /dev/sdb1 FAT32 partition. This is still confusing. Either the program should cope with raw vfat partitions or ask for a partition as part of the format process.
