disk /dev/sda doesn't contain a valid partition table

/dev/sda is your USB stick (depending on your kernel configuration and drivers, it can also be /dev/uba). But here it is not http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

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&#39;ve done this, 

mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1

Note all there remarks assume that you&#39;re doing this natively on a GNU/Linux machine. I&#39;ve not used a W32 machine in years http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif I don&#39;t know what formatting the stick in Windows will do, but judging it&#39;s windows, I would assume not what you expect.
