An error? In what way? From my understanding of the process described
(which is very limited) at the bottom of the page at
http://wiki.geteasypeasy.com/Hybrid_ISO/IMG_format#Recording_to_flash_media_on_Linux
the system thinks the USB stick is a CD drive. But, as you say, the CD
drive is not involved.

I would go for a lower capacity USB stick and disconnecting the CD PRM
in the machine. But that's only because I have time on my hands, :)
