There is one 8GB Fat32 partition.

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe nothing? This should not happen, usually it will be due to media errors - if there is enough free space left on the medium, then. You could try to format the stick with verification, some burning programs, like k3b, have an option for verification of the CD/DVD burning, too. If you trust the stick, the CD/DVD may very well be the culprit.
