So, you're thinking of a wizard-type approach.

I think dialogs 1 and 2 should be merged; having them separate seems like just an excuse to require another click. I like dialog 3b better than 3a, but then that means you're combining the format and install operations (which wouldn't be a bad idea, just a little out of scope here).

Dialog 1 and/or 2 should additionally show the device form factor (e.g. "Secure Digital flash memory card") along with a large icon, as well as the USB device name (e.g. "JD Firefly") and the size of the device as a whole. For each partition, show the label (if present), the size, the and the filesystem type and/or partition type. In other words, show as much as possible about the disk that is about to get wiped!
