   because the usb drive I was using was 32 sectors/track. I didn't even know
that could be an issue.

It looks like the USB stick i'm using has the same issue, according to fdisk
-l:

0 pip:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdc

Disk /dev/sdc: 1031 MB, 1031798784 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 3936 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdc1               1        3936     1007600    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
0 pip:~# 

Any suggestions for what can be done to work around this?
