How to make usb stick for F20 Xfce live ??

[sean darcy]

I've got a new HP laptop running Windows 8.1, with uefi boot. I've 
shrunk the windows partition, so I have 500+ gigs free.

I've dl'd the F20 Xfce Live iso. I checked the sha256, which matched.

I've got a 2gig usb stick. I followed the instructions on 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB.

Disk Image Writer completed without error.

I booted the HP laptop with the usb stick. Up popped the grub menu. I 
tried test medium. That failed early. Seems to have failed the checksum.

Recreated the usb stick, same result.

Went ahead and booted to the livecd. It booted, the balloon filled up, 
but then it hung at the Fedora "f".

On the usb stick in LiveOS was a 600 meg file called squashfs.img. 
unsquashed it. That generated a 3+ gig file ext3fs, with this sha256 sum:

d9adb2bd65f7b69b6c772592a16c4167038c332838efc8ac6700534245028be1 ext3fs.img

Any help appreciated.
