Comment 15 for bug 458334

You guys are talented, but all of this code is not needed. Does the workaround work? Yes, but there are methods now that are understandable to most of the public, which is ok, and really just comes down to good logic (in other words, get done quickly and cleanly).

<using_ubuntu9.10>

Step 1: Install gparted.
Click applications -> terminal -> and write the following without quotation marks- "sudo apt-get install gparted"

Step 2: reformat the usb drive.
Open terminal and write the following without quotation marks- "gparted" -> click on drop down menu on the top right and make sure to DESELECT!! \dev\hda, and find the right hard drive. If you have a 4GiB hard drive, look for a 4 GiB for volume size, then reformat it.

Step 3: Make USB bootable drive
Click system -> administration -> USB Startup Disk Creator

Having made sure that you only have 1 USB drive connected, you will see a device with an exclamation and one without. Choose the one without an exclamation then give at least 1GiB for storage space

Click "Make Startup Disk"
