Hi everyone.
I am trying to make a Ubuntu boot disk on a USB stick to install in another pc.
I can not format it in FAT32.

(1) First I used the start up application
(2) Selected the iso and sdc1 where the usb is
(3) Asked to erase the disk as it said it was full, and it was not but anyway I chose the option (the disk was already formated in FAT32 by default anyway)
(4) It did not make it, it says: "org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Inhibited: Daemon is inhibited"

Now if I open gParted to format the disk the option FAT332 is not available.
The usb stick is unmounted when I do this process. In fact it does not mount anymore.

####################################
I am using Ubuntu 12.04
Usb mounted on /dev/scd1

Any ideas

Thanks in advance.
