Sounds like a classic issue of improperly writing to the usb stick. To copy the image to the usb stick (assuming /dev/sdb for the stick), use "dd bs-1024 if=<image file> of=/dev/sdb". Writing an image to a usb stick is like filling out a grid on a checkerboard. If you don't give it the 1024 block size parameter, it writes one way (row by row), but with the bs=1024, it writes column by column.
In my own early testing, I had ~40% success rate with just dd if=<image> of=<drive>, but with the bs=1024, I have boosted that to %99.
