Evan, I downloaded usb-creator 0.2.7 from the launchpad website. Apt-cache shows I am using 0.2.4. I extracted the tar file, entered the bin directory and double clicked the usb-creator-gtk python script. The result is a bit surprising. One of the partitions of the USB key is shown under the source disk image .iso list as
/dev/sr0 U3 System 5.5MB I think that U3 refers to a small Windows utility that is placed on the USB key by the manufacturer. However I would like to know what /dev/sr0 refers to. It appears on my desktop as a CD rom when I UNPLUG my Samsung external USB DVD writer in classic desktop mode. There are no internal CD drives in my EEE PC. Disk to use in usb creator still shows /dev/sdb1 280GB but no sdd. Do I need to run setup.py or type make to install/update the backend?
