I tried to configure my USB with the image file for the latest Fedora-20 release using Image Writer. When I try to boot the installation from it in my PC the boot-loader is showing up but the load fails with the message:
[ 1.73447] nouveau E[ PDISP][000:01:00.0] chid 0 nthd 0x02a4 0x0000000 0x100032a4 0x00000000
So, where is the problem? What I am doing wrong?

Try using a Fedora-specific tool for creating live USB drives - Fedora LiveUSB Creator. The liveusb-creator is a cross-platform tool for easily installing live operating systems onto USB flash drives.
Features
⠀• Works in Windows and RPM-based Linux distributions
⠀• There is no need to deal with formatting or partitioning your USB flash drive.
⠀• Supports automatically downloading various Fedora releases
⠀• Persistent storage creation
⠀• Checksum verification

checkout this link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB
follow the dd command it worked for me
To write the ISO file directly to the disk, run:
su -c "dd if=/Users/me/Downloads/Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M"
Or, if you are running an Ubuntu-based distribution
sudo dd if=/Users/me/Downloads/Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M

What does this do? What is /dev/sdX? Why is this better than the current method? Just giving a command hamstrings your answer. More details will turn this from a cryptic string into a potentially awesome answer. – Journeyman Geek – 2014-01-16T02:20:08.287

1I had a similar problem with OpenSuse - using the custom OS tool worked a treat, and was way-easier than the hack-around I was trying. – Peter – 2013-12-22T12:46:32.193
