I figured I'd add this in, based on what Alex said on comment #8.
To get a functional stick, I first deleted all partition tables using fdisk
$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdg
and then created a fat32 partition, using full space in gparted.
Doing this, allowed me to select the /dev/sdg1 partition in usb startup disk, and succesfully create the boot stick.
