This depends on kernel buffering and usb stick write speed.
You shouldn't have removed the key.
Just re-run the tool and really wait until it is complete and
everything will be fine.
If you want to reset it for another use, run dd if=/dev/zero
of=/dev/sdX bs=1M count=10 (where X is the letter corresponding to the
stick,
you can check with the tool) and you should be able to repartition it
(after unplugging and replugging it).
