Fedora LiveUSB Problems

Im having trouble using my USB stick for Fedora. I use the creator and it works, then after 1 or 2 uses the LiveOS folder disappears and it won't boot. Can I just download another LiveCD and copy it to the LiveOS folder? Or do I have to extract it first?

I created my Fedora 10 live USB disk using this
https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/

So far it's working fine.

You better create a new Fedora on your USB.

I did the same thing. After like 2 uses the LiveOS folder disappeared. Kinda weird.

Is there any chance disk is full? You can see that using "df" command.

I didn't face liveOS disappearing issue, but few days I did face some weird problems. Then I realized disk was full and Fedora couldn't save/write anything on disk. After clearing some space, it worked fine again.

Hmm..
It's a 1GB stick. I checked the sizing and it has 300MBs free.

Anyone got an idea?
I bought a new flash drive that's 16GB but the MBR won't boot. How would I fix it to make it boot?
