I was running into problems with my flash drive. The problem was something went wrong with the partition on the flash drive, so we had to make a new one overwriting the broken one.

• To do that, we ran:

josh@sharktopus /dev $ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb

From there, we found out that the partition technically didn't exist, so we made a new one by typing n (for new), then followed the on screen directions to make a new one, and finished up with wq (write and quit). THERE! The partition has been made! Next, we formatted the flash drive and mounted it:

josh@sharktopus /dev $ sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1

OUTPUT

josh@sharktopus /dev $ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

I then ran the unetbootin program and installed the distro! We are done!
