It might be a problem with formatting...? You could try formatting and adding the boot flag to the USB key with GParted (System -> Administration -> Partition Editor) before running the usb-creator. If that doesn't help you might want to request help at <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/" rel="nofollow">the forums</a> or write a bug report at <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+filebug" rel="nofollow">Launchpad</a>.
