So, new usb stick old problem. I was worried that I'm formatting the disk wrong and ran fdisk to take a look at the usb stick to verify this. the result is displayed below for my thumb drive and I noticed that I have HPFS/NTFS/exFAT for type in sda1, where I think my iso file will live. Have I used the wrong tool and made the formatting of the thumb drive unable to accept the linux iso? Thanks for your help, guys.
