If you create a live USB of a Linux distribution, you might have issues in formatting the USB key later.
You may see an error like this:

Error Formatting Volume

This partition cannot be modified because it contains a partition table; please reinitialize layout of the whole device. udisks-error-quark, 11

This quick tutorial shows you how to fix this error and format the USB.

The tutorial uses Disks tool that comes preinstalled in Ubuntu but you can also use more generic tools like Gparted for this task.
