Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-imagewriter

I tried to copy the current image of Hexxehs Chrome OS builds http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/ . Image Writer found my 1,8 GB USB Key, the image and started copying. Everything finished, but at the end, it showed that there was an error while copying. I tried it several times, reformatted and so on but it didn't work.
Then I switched to windows and tried the Win32 Disk Imager https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer - and when I started to copy, the program said that the stick is too small.
Why can't usb-imagewriter give such a warning?
