IME, writing an iso to a USB stick can take an obscene length of time, finishing *long* after the command prompt returns if you have a lot of RAM to read the iso into before the stick can be written to.

Maybe the bad magic number resulted from writing less than the whole iso file to the stick?.... -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Whatever else you get, get wisdom."
