Comment 3 for bug 1460602

My tip for a solution is independent of waiting for udisks to be fixed:

* Wipe the first megabyte (actually mibibyte) *

When the target drive is identified and selected (so that there can be no mistake), simply wipe the first mibibyte (use dd under the hood to overwrite it with zeros). This has worked well for me and people I have helped at the Ubuntu Forums. It is part of mkusb and I have used and recommended the method for years. mkusb from ppa:mkusb/unstable has a menu with several alternatives, where the first one (standard) will create pendrives, that work with for example the s-d-c and Unetbootin.
