Description Fred J. Tydeman 2013-12-16 21:04:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have used liveusb-creator on both 32-bit and 64-bit FC 18 to write
Fedora-Live-LXDE-i686-20-Beta-5.iso to a 4 gig USB memory stick.  It appears
to work OK.  But, when I boot that USB stick, all I get on the screen is: GRUB

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC 20 Beta 

How reproducible:
Several ways.  I have tried formatting the USB memory stick as FAT-32 and ext4.
I have run liveusb-creator on both 64-bit and 32-bit Linux systems.  I have done
this action before many times without this problem.
Comment 1 Fred J. Tydeman 2013-12-20 01:41:31 UTC 
Trying
  liveusb-creator --safe --reset-mbr
created a USB memory stick that booted the Live system.
So, my problem has been fixed.
Comment 2 Luke Macken 2014-01-06 23:56:44 UTC 
Yeah, it looks like your master boot record just needed to be reset. I don't think the --safe option made a difference.
