Found a workaround

I found a workaround. I downloaded the .deb package from this site. Of course I got the nonsense about missing dependencies (which linux is notorious for,) however ubuntu gave me a suggestion on how to fix. I did said suggestion and it worked. Thanks. I got a new computer only to realize much to my chagrin that it didn't have an IDE connector and that everything has moved over to SATA. So I was able to put windows on my thumb drive and that got me up and running. Awesome program. Saved my bacon. Thanks

Hi,
The PPA is completely managed by the Ubuntu servers, so they can't be broken.
The problem comes from your Ubuntu installation. You should fill a bug in launchpad or seek for help in the Ubuntu forum.

Can't get PPA for winusb

Written by Grizzly907la on 2013-05-15 at 05h 54min.

I get this error when trying to setup the repository "Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
ImportError: No module named latin_1"

Fixing the 512 error:

Got the 512 error (exit code)?

Did you read that the file may be Corrupted? If you do, then this is probably right, If you havn't, still .

My case was that I unzipped / Extracting the Compressed file, but didn't have anpugh space left in my hard-disk then, so without noticing, the iso-file was less than 200mb.
after cleaning my hard-disk so i would have more space for unzipped / Extracting, well, I havn't did it yet, and going to do, I guess that now everything will be just good.

check your file:
did you have enough space left in hard-drive while unzipped / Extracting ?
Do the downloaded file weighs as it supposed? look at the download's Details. It can be where the browser show the downloads and also in the site where you downloaded from.

Technically, if you could unzipped / Extracting the downloaded-file, then it may be fine, so check the iso file (in case it was Compressed). My iso file weighs 2.5GB. and 2.3GB is also possible I think.

Good Luck!
