If you have error with the Startup Disk Creator at the end of the process in Ubuntu 12.10 (what I supose you have installed), you can try with the same process in a Ubuntu 12.04 system (or loaded with a LiveCD).

Also you can try with other programs to make this automatically: Portable Linux, Live USB Install
