The startup disk creator crashes!

I followed the instructions carefully and I've tried many times (about 5 times). It crashes at the same part every time. When it asks for the password and says that it's installing the bootloader. I'm trying to make a ubuntu 13.10 live usb.

You can try some alternative program to this preinstalled in Ubuntu like:

UNetBootIn - you can install him straight from this link,

or Live Usb Install from here.

4 easy steps to follow:

1) Download YUMI – Multiboot USB Creator from here

2) Download ubuntu 13.10 from here

 (and please do follow this step as the reason for the crash may be a corrupt file)

3)click on YUMI and select your drive for the USB,select ubuntu as the distribution file and browse the iso file

enter image description here

4)Click create and you are good to go..!!

This was happening to me and I had to force close the process although the USB did work as bootable anyway even though the process appeared unfinished. Although I would exercise caution and run it before installing from it, if that is your intention, in case there is any data loss.

I believe its a problem with Startup Disk Creator so installing a different tool for doing so should work fine.

Install squashfs-tools

sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools

and then use unetbootin. Started having this problem with every usb i tried to make until i realized that squashfs-tools was not being installed. While Multiboot is a great tool, if you notice when it gets installed, squashfs-tools does as well.
