(Get the code!)
I've come across this error a lot of times lately, the first time it drove me to assuming my usb disk was corrupt or some such. This time I thought it was because lots of other things were broken in the system (bad upgrade problems from jaunty, using pre-release updates... things are starting to go wonky - That's why I was going to make the usb disk lol).
I went to one of my other Ubuntu machines to do the deed, and came across this problem there too. I just formatted the partition using gparted.
It lists both /dev/sdg with a warning icon, and also /dev/sdg1, which is currently allowing me to create the partition.
It is quite confusing though, especially when the default item selected is the warning icon @ /dev/sdg
