Binary package hint: usb-creator

I have an 8 Gig thumb drive with one partition. Looks like this:

Disk /dev/sdg: 8009 MB, 8009023488 bytes
247 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1021 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15314 * 512 = 7840768 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdg1 * 1 1021 7817766 c W95 FAT32 (LBA)

The drive mounts fine. There are no files on the thumb drive.

USB creator see both the raws drive, /dev/sdg, and the first partition, /dev/sdg1. It indicates that /dev/sdg needs to be formatted and that /dev/sdg1 does not have enough room for the:

-rw-r--r-- 1 kpratt kpratt 859865088 2010-03-06 08:02 lucid-netbook-i386.iso

image I am trying to write.

I attempted to use the Format button on both /dev/sdg and /dev/sdg1. Neither action enables the "Make Startup Disk" button. And neither action results in any kind of error or success indication.

I am unable to create a USB disk from the lucid-netbook-i386.iso image.
