After coming home, i formatted the usb drive (iball CORDIAL 8GB), using disk utility on my mac, into “fat32” and used the instructions given at- https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/installation/manual/mac/index.en.html to create a bootable usb of tails. midway, i hit into a bump that threw a ‘larger than 1024 cylinders, might not function on all devices’ error. so i formatted the usb into 'Mac OS X Journaled’. and… came up with the same error.
