Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
I bought a new 2GB usb stick which had no bootable mbr and which contained no active partition.
I fixed this manually by dd if=/usr/
Because I suspect this may be common for new usb sticks, usb-creator should ensure that the selected partition is active and the mbr can actually boot it.

Did you run it using sudo or as the root user? If not, and you ran it as your normal account then it probably wont be able to install the mbr.
