I'm trying to use gparted from a LiveUSB of Mint 18. When I open gparted, it throws an error box

The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes.

I've tried looking up information on this, but I can't find anything elementary enough. In small words, please, what causes this error and how do I fix it?

you can use 

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=2048 count=1

This will change the block size of sdX. Then you can create you live-usb. Remember: of=/dev/sdX must point to your usb path.

PS. I readed from a ubuntu forum but I didn't save the link. Edit. I forgot add count=1
