ok I tried these methods: 1. I installed it in 12.04 because if I use 12.10 I would face some proeblems - did not work 2. I used Ubuntu 12.10.ios to see if I have the same error- worked no errors 3. changing usb - did not try 4. Using unitbootin - trying now 5. md5sum was -Correct – Suhaib Nov 11 '12 at 21:41

You could try using UNetbootin, the Ubuntu package is called unetbootin.

I have no idea what is the problem with the GUI -wrapper but this should work in Ubuntu, it works in Debian.

Check up the sdNUMBER and then as a root overwrite the stick, be sure that you overwrite the right stick!

$ dmesg|grep sd|less
# cat debian.iso > /dev/sdX
# sync

More here.

Example: notice like sdb, not like sdb1

    $ sudo su
    # root@xyz:/home/xyz# cat /home/xyz/Documents/Distros/debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso >/dev/sdb

...this worked fine, the iso -file comes with the bootloader -- fed up to Ubuntu's bugs so switched to Debian. – hhh Aug 10 '12 at 5:37

This worked in my case:

sudo dd if=ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb

If you would use an Ubuntu ISO file in your command,your answer would be on topic. As it was, not so much. Just my 2 cents - corrected. – Elder Geek Jul 2 '15 at 2:05
    
Sorry, it was debian originally. I think I copied the wrong filename. – Nandakumar Edamana Jul 3 '15 at 12:15

For any Linux , Make Boot able USB drive with Unetbootin. Provide .iso image path and click write. ( Don't need to select even Linux and versions).
