disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table --- Quote End ---
/dev/sda is your USB stick (depending on your kernel configuration and drivers, it can also be /dev/uba). But here it is not

The error you mention seems suspicioulsy to the one that makes me recreate the partition table: just
fdisk /dev/sda
delete all the partitions and create a new one (type FAT32 or something). After you've done this,
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
Note all there remarks assume that you're doing this natively on a GNU/Linux machine. I've not used a W32 machine in years
