Hi dude, I got an Acer Netbook too (aspire one ZG5) and I try the Fedora USB creator and I got a lot of errors too, after then I just use the Linux-Live USB Creator and this one works fine. You can make your usb bootable and install the Fedora (or whatever Linux flavor you want) with no problems. Hope this can help you

Sorry to hear of your problems. i suggest you go with a "lighter" distro for a netbook -- like lubuntu 32-bit or antiX M8.5. For the latter on a USB stick, please see http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/mepis-64/have-you-tried-the-antix-usb-boot-from-a-flash-memory-stick-692909/ . The same applies for M8.5 as for M8.0, FYI.

Best wishes for success!
