Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
If you insert a USB key after the program has started, two USB keys get listed (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1). /dev/sdb1 has no available space, and /dev/sdb says it needs to be formatted. Formatting does not work as it says the key is in use.
Actual Error:
Unable to create a partition table:
Error: Partition(s) on /dev/sdb are being used.
If the key is already plugged in when the program starts, then I am able to use the USB key. This is using a freshly formatted fat32 4GB usb key

That would make sense, given the presence of both /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 in the list, which should not ever happen. What version of usb-creator were you using? Can you please paste the output of `sudo parted /dev/sdb print` where /dev/sdb is the block device for your USB stick.
Thanks!
