Hi,

It certainly makes things easier for you, that your CPU has the PAE flag :-)

usb-creator-gtk is a little tricky right now, but if I let it wipe the
drive, it can create a working persistent drive (even if there is
sometimes a segfault). If you have problems, usb-creator-kde or
unetbootin may work better.

Best regards
