I dont' get the right error, meaning that the partition is larger. I get this error: Error: Invalid partition table - recursive partition on /dev/sdc

also, from your quote, it's pretty clear that the hard disk is 500 GB, and the partition has only 774 MB. I think 774 MB had the image that I was trying to "burn" on the usb with dd

Yes, that's because your partition starts at sector 0, which means you did not leave any room for a partition table. That generally occurs when you use dd ... of=/dev/sdb instead of of=/dev/sdb1. Basically, your disk right now has no partition table.
