Unfortunately gparted is the only way to repair a usb stick dd'd with 
fedora. Need to use gparted's "create a new mbr" and formatting it 
fat32, boot flag set. The included "disks"  does not seem to have this 
feature.
This is needed for fedora liveusb-creator GUI to create a bootable live 
USB stick.
