Checksums do not match when creating a bootable USB stick

Solution 1:

Using a Kingston 4GB Data Traveler USB stick I was getting the same checksum error.

Then as Jordon Bedwell (above) suggested I dropped the persistence file from 1GB down to 256MB and it went through without a hitch; or the checksum error popping up.

Used USB Startup Disk Creator from the menu. Using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS to make a 11.04 USB.

Thanks Jordon

Solution 2:

problem solved, but no answer to the question. i used unetbootin with success but the problem with ubuntu disk creator remains.

Solution 3:

I removed the usb-creator-gtk, rebooted, reinstalled it, deleted the partition on the usb drive using disk utility, created new partition and attempted using usb-creator-gtk again with success. Not sure which of the steps above actually resolved the problem.
