USB booting :: Error creating USB install

Tried to create a USB install --

I can mount the USB stick, but get an error when attempting to install to it.

Error creating DOS filesystem.

Any ideas? I'm kind of at a loss.....

Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem and I solved it removing
4 default partitions on my stick.

Here's what I did on Debian/GNU Linux:

# fdisk /dev/sda
command (m for help): d
partition number (1-4): 4
command (m for help): d
partition number (1-4): 3
command (m for help): d
partition number (1-4): 2
command (m for help): d
selected partition 1
command (m for help): n
Command action

Using default value 1024
command (m for help): w
