Are you dragging the iso to a formatted usb drive?  If so, you might be 
running into the filesystem limits.  Also, it won't boot that way.  If 
you want to boot directly, you will need to 'dd' the file to the raw 
device node of the usb drive (e.g. /dev/sdb).  This will wipe anything 
that is already on the drive.  Otherwise you will have to use some 
bootloader that is filesystem aware like unetbootin or whatever it is 
called.
