I've been doing a lot of ISO writing to USB and SD drives recently - #dontAsk. I've been getting a rather worrying number of these:
Invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/****
To fix this go into terminal and do the following:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/AAAAAA bs=1M
where AAAAAA refers to your drive (normally sdb or sdc).
This takes quite a long time to process. Once complete re-configure your drive in Gparted.
