Comment 23 for bug 457737

Whilst it seems to be fixed in Lucid, it still exists in Karmic and IMO should be fixed.

I used a USB that already had an image on it. I created the original image using the similar Dell utility (it was on a Dell netbook with 8.10 preinstalled) under Intrepid if my memory services me correctly. I ended up having to install GParted and reformat it (FAT32) with that, then it worked fine. Formatting with the preinstalled "Disk Utility" (Palimpest) didn't do it. Well it formatted it and Nautilus sees the USB fine - but USB Creator still wouldn't work with the USB until formatted with GParted.
