Bug Description
I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, with all the latest updates.
My problem is I cannot get Ubuntu on a USB "WITH" persistence. USB Creator GUI works fine and does in fact install Ubuntu. It boots fine, but basically I only get a LiveCD type functionality out of it. If I try saving anything in the home folder, the USB becomes unbootable. The error message at startup says "Push F1 to retry boot...."
Has anyone else noticed this? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Bugs/ FindRightPackag e . I have classified this bug as a bug in usb-creator. Also, I've been unable to reproduce your issue on Ubuntu 8.10. Here are the steps I took:
1.) Plugged in a Corsair 32GB USB disk 8.10-desktop- i386.iso file
2.) Clicked System -> Administration -> USB start up disk
3.) Clicked Other... and browsed to my ubuntu-
4.) Left the default of 128MB "Stored in reserved extra space" setting
5.) Clicked Make Startup Disk
6.) Once done, removed USB disk and placed it in my Fujitsu U810 laptop
7.) Booted into LIVE environment
8.) Created a test.txt file in the Documents folder, saved and closed it
9.) Shutdown laptop and unplugged USB disk
10.) Plugged USB disk back in and booted back into LIVE environment
11.) Checked the Documents folder, and test.txt was still there
Where these similar to the steps you took?
