Comment 4 for bug 533276

Most of the time I try to use usb-creator-[gtk|kde] it fails in this way, on multiple machines. This bug needs to be upgraded to importance=high. Many times I have hit the "Format" button and 99% of the time it does not accept the partition(s) it has formated as useable. I have tried this on three different Lucid hosts with three different ... now four different USB keys (2G, 4G, 8G) and maybe one time out of 100 it decides that the drive it has formatted is usable. The suggestion above now seems silly, as I checked and this is how the software is currently formatting the drives:

root@rock:~/Downloads# sfdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 1013 cylinders, 65 heads, 62 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 2063360 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 0+ 1012 1013- 2041164 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sdb2 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
/dev/sdb3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
/dev/sdb4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
root@rock:~/Downloads#

  Yes I have tested in both gtk and kde mode. I guess I have only tested on 32bit machines. Clearly I can test any updates you want me to try.
