Every time my company releases a new version of its software, someone creates a 
~1.5GB ISO image of it using genisoimage -J -R -D -V [volume_name] , and then I 
use a Nexcopy USB duplicator to burn the ISO to 2GB flash drives. 

This process no longer works; it produces a "cannot get drive geometry" error. 
According to gparted, it's b ecause the partition table is bogus - these flash 
drives are created with a 7.34GB partition, which obviously isn't possible on a 
2GB flash drive. Nexcopy's support insists that this is because of the way the 
ISO was created even though known good ISOs from other versions produce the 
same error. 

I'm supposed to "Check the partition size...and then re-master the ISO so they 
all match. So if you have a 1.2GB CD-ROM partition size, you need to have a 
1.2GB ISO file." 

I don't know enough about the ins and outs of genisoimage or ISO files to know 
if this is accurate or not or how I would do it. Any insight would be much 
appreciated.
