I agree this function should do more than warn you it will format the
whole drive.

The "USB disk to use:" window in USB Startup Disk Creator only shows
partitions and not the whole drive.  By selecting a partition it should
only format that partition.

This is a serious bug that I think would be better to fix and have it
format the selected partition, or remove the formatting feature entirely
and refer the user to the Partition Editor to format the partition prior
to use.

It should then warn you the selected partition will be formatted and all
data lost.

Should warn that formatting will erase the entire contents of the device (all 
partitions).
