OS X 10.4.11 + unable to partition. diskutil returned 1

When trying to run the aTV Flash verbatim after utilizing disk utility to erase the drive, I get an error message at “start” stating “Unable to partition. diskutil returned 1”.

I tried to search the forum for anyone else experiencing this particular scenario and didn’t see any references.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time =)

BTW: I’m using the same media that was sent to me on purchase…Memorex traveldrive 2.0 256mb

Im getting the same error message

“Unable to partition. diskutil returned 1”

What is causing this and what is the solution ?

I have the same issue same error code returned. I am at loss what to do.
I searched the net located the link to install boxee on a usb stick http://gizmodo.com/5082130/how-to-max-out-apple-tvs-potential-with-boxee and was able to install this patch on my USB stick and then run on my ATV .

Why mention this? Well it has the same similar set up to aTV Flash and issues regarding a USB drive. Why do I get an error message Unable to partition. diskutil returned 1.

I really would like to get my aTV Flash installed on a USB stick any other thoughts what I may be the issue, tried over 6 different USB sticks including some recommended here

Solved the problem !
The problem was the OSBOOT File 2Z694-5573-24.dmg linked from the PDF on the read me first page
Issue solved when I downloaded directly using the link from one of the posts on the Forum
