UNetbootin is very handy, but It doesn't really take care of the disk in the first place. Install the syslinux package first - then cat over mbr.bin to the device. Then format it as fat32 with gparted, remembering to set the boot flag to on. Then I've found it to be pretty reliable.<br>
<br>Ubuntu itself has a built in tool, if you go to Administration - > USB Startup Disk Creator.<br><br>This allows you to turn an Ubuntu ISO (maybe others?) into a bootable USB stick - even a persistent install where your settings are saved - very handy.<br>
