If you're not using unetbootin to download the files, I'm pretty sure your error is because you don't have 7zip installed. Do a quick apt-get install p7zip-full and try again. It should work. I had a similar problem earlier this week.
-- unetbootin does not copy files to the usb disk https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/323844 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Eee Coders, which is the registrant for Easy Peasy. Status in Easy Peasy: New Bug description: Hi, My OS is ubuntu 8.10, pretty vanilla, no fancy tweaks, but for some reason unetbootin does not copy the files on the USB disk. I installed unetbootin from unetbootin_304-4_i386.deb My USB disk was mounted automatically when inserted, as /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk The unetbootin installer detects it correctly, it is also the only USB disk in the list, correctly. The installer shows the files are being copied to /media/disk, but finished surprisingly soon, in just a few seconds. I checked my USB disk device path, the mount parameters, deleted all the files from the disk with rm -fr and re-run a couple of times but same result. I have a workaround though. The output of 'mount' for /dev/sdb1 precisely matched the one on the wiki. Based on a hunch that the problem might be related to that. So I unmunted, and then remounted as root with simply 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt'. This way unetbootin worked well and copied the files. I think you should put this workaround on the wiki. Let me know if you need further info about my env. Thanks a lot for this project, it works great and I truly appreciate it.
