Bug Description

This worked when Trusty was released, as I used it multiple times to burn various *buntu ISOs for people at Linuxfest NW. Now the thumbdrive is erased, but the next step is never made available. "Make Startup Disk" button remains grayed out. Unetbootin seems to work, so it isn't the ISO or the thumbdrive.

Error in my description, because the reason I couldn't continue is that the USB key was too small for the ISO. However, this is a terrible way to leave the user hanging. Some sort of status message or error message should be generated telling the user that the write cannot be completed because the target is too small.
