I suspect the issue here is that the ReactOS .iso does not have a
/.disk/info file, which seems to be a Debian/Ubuntu-specific convention,
and usb-creator silently rejects the disk.  I'm having the same problem
with a Fedora 15 beta .iso.

@Kamus, in Ubuntu 10.10 even the log file you mention contains nothing,
because the _is_casper() check in
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/usbcreator/backends/udisks/backend.py does
not test if the output of `isoinfo -J -i /path/to/Some.iso -x
/.disk/info` is an empty string , so it doesn't realize it's failed, so
the logging error 'Could not extract .disk/info.' is never reached! The
code has a "# TODO evand 2009-07-26: Error dialog." that remains undone.

Perhaps this bug should be made a dupe of bug 500526.

The Launchpad description 
  "A tool to take Ubuntu CDs and ISO files and write them in a usable form to 
USB disks."
hints at this limitation, but the package description
  "create a startup disk using a CD or disc image"
does not.
