Comment 9 for bug 694625

also experienced the same trying to create USB image on SanDisk 8G drive and no persistent image using the 64-bit server 13.04 from both a 13.04 64-bit laptop and from a 12.10 32-bit laptop. The process hangs for along time, the light on the USB throbs, and then the application crashes causing apport to file a report on it. I also tried freshly reformatting the drive (FAT32) with the same result; the USB drive appears to have the ISO unpacked into the filesystem, but is perhaps failing on the bootloader stage (and the resulting USB will not boot)
