Bug Description

using unetbootin from source forge (unetbootin-mac-585.zip). I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on an iMac 27" Mid 2011.

I've tried various usb sticks and usb cards (there is both USB as well as an SD reader).

Sometimes, unetbootin fails to detect a card.

I'm seeing something similar on Windows: Unetbootin does not offer my USB drive letter because Windows does not consider it a "removable media" device, but instead as a fixed disk device.

The following post clarifies this situation, by offering that developers need to adopt support for a new initiative re: USB key support: http://forums.sandisk.com/t5/All-SanDisk-USB-Flash-Drives/Cruzer-Blade-USB-Flash-Drives-16-Gb-Acts-like-a-normal-harddisk/td-p/297958
