Moreover, I had several partitions on my usb drive. I selected the one I wanted to install on. Then I clicked the format button thinking it would format the selected partition. But it formatted the entire drive ! An alert saying "Caution, this will format the *entire* drive /dev/sdb1" would have certainly saved me. Formatting the selected partition only should be the right thing to do though (with an alert popup too).
