I'm, usually, use dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/usb && sync for creating bootable usb disk. Or, as alternative solution unetbootin.

well, you can try https://unetbootin.github.io/ or http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ you need to try different tools and command because one method sometimes are not suitable for everyone

Try other tools instead of the build in Startup disk creator. On linux I have used UnetBootin multiple times, otherwise you can always grab a DVD and burn the .iso on it using K3B. (Awesome burning software BTW)

edit Last week I wanted to go from elementary OS to Windows 10 and I tried to create a bootable USB but it kept failing on me, so I deceided to burn a DVD as I said using k3b and it worked like a charm. :)
