Trouble creating Patchstick

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Partitioned a freshly formatted USB drive
2. Selected DMG
3. Started the creation process

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Here's what I see:
2Z694-6013-013.dmg selected
Extracting boot.efi ...
Extracting recovery seed ...
  extracting atv_recv.zip
Creating USB Flash Disk...
  umount_disk settling delay (10 seconds)
  partition the target disk
Unable to partition device: Error creating partition map: The chosen size is 
not valid for the 
chosen filesystem (-9962)
  partition_disk failed
Failed! (0:00:17)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using atvusb-creator-1.0.b13 on Mac Mini 2.53GHz with 4GB RAM and running 10.6.2

Please provide any additional information below.
This 512MB USB stick previously had atvusb-creator-1.0.b10 installation which I 
wiped out by 
reformatting the drive using Disk Utilities. I erased the drive, then 
partitioned it into 2 partitions 
keeping the firs partition at minimum and second partition about 435MB.

I had the same problem with a 512, but found that after erasing/formatting, 
like any drive on OS X, the available 
space on a blank one is less than advertised.

They do say, now, on the main web page, that "Minimum flash size is 512MB."

I like how it will ignore my other USB HDs (320 Gig and up) now to help prevent 
formatting a regular HD by 
accident. Luckily a 40 Gig drive I put into an external case was recognized by 
the app as being small enough, so I 
was able to install on the ATV with an external USB HD.

I was able to dig-up another Flash drive (1GB), format it, create two 
partitions, and install the Patchstick on to it.

So it looks like the new atvusb-creator v13 takes more space than the old 
because I was able to install v10 on 
the 512MB before.

I wish they would specify how big to make the two partitions on the formatted 
drive. I just selected the default 
2-partition setup in Disk Utilities. Glad it worked.

The EFI partition may not have been deleted, which may have caused disk 
shortage problem.
At the DIsk Tool (in 10.6.3), right clicking the disk on the left pane gives 
menu of Partition.
After erasing all partitions, there is still a partition hidden. "disktool 
list" will show EFI type one.
Partition menu will give "Options..." button to select GUID, APM, or MBR. 
Selecting MBR, 1 partition,
and Free Space format option will provide full capacity.
