[Bug 1034487] [NEW] ISO disk image not read by disc Creator

[FLoyd Roberts]

Public bug reported:

Trying to create a bootable USB stick (actually this is being done to
recover an interupted (power line failure) upgrade to 12.04) I am able
to boot my system with an alternate hard drive, and the drive is seen
and the files seem present, however I need to install/reinstall a new
version of 12.04. Thus the need for a bootable USB (cd drive does not
work) - USB creator will find the USB stick fine, however the downloaded
ISO is apparently never loaded.  This might be similar to

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/500526

but I am not savvy enough to know. I have tried running disk creator
from the command line but get the following

floyd at DPR1500:~$ usb-creator-gtk -i ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
isoinfo: Short read on old image

Suggestion is that the iso is bad so I will download another, but any
guidance would be appriciated  -- I am still basically just trying to
recover the system from a poorly timed power failure.
