I have some unpartioned space on my usb HDD and I would like to use that space to setup a live ubuntu installation partition. I have a lot of data in other partitions that I want to keep, so I cannot just plug in the usb creator because it seems to want to format the whole thing...

What can I do?

Try using the Disk Utility or GParted to format the unpartioned space then use unetbootin to install live ubuntu to that partition. Make sure you select the right one!
