Agreed, because an even earlier version of Gparted, as included within an 'obsolete' LinuxMint7 CD, version 0.4.3 with default 'Align to Cylinder' is what is actually needed to uniquely prepare USBkeys for persistent USBkey creation using subsequent and different versions of StartUp Disk Creator. For example, LinuxMint 9's creator is then needed for persistent LinuxMint-9, -10 or -12 USBkeys, whilst LinuxMint-11's creator is needed for persistent LinuxMint-11, PinguyOS11.04, Ubuntu 11.10 or Ubuntu 12.04 USBkeys. I think that I've got that right and don't ask me why. I just use 'wot works' to explore those distribution releases on several different rigs. Also please note that if the USBkey is prepared with LinuxMint-7's Gparted along the lines of the attached screen shot, its DATA partition makes it function as a conventional Windows USB DATA key, with the Linux bootable partition being hidden from view, making it a great data transfer tool. (crazy)
