Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
When I open USB Creator my USB drive is recognized as sdb1 and has a hard drive icon. I select the drive, and click Format. The process completes, but I now the device isn't being recognized as usable by USB Creator - the icon is now a yellow, triangular "Warning Sign". To make the disk usable, I need to re-format it with Gparted. Gparted indicates that the partition type is "unknown" (see screenshot). After using Gparted to format the disk to Fat32, I can use USB-Creator to write the image.
