Won't show non-thumb USB external drive

[Lonnie Lee Best]

I can't get StartUp Disk Creator to show my external usb drive as a selectable destination for a Startup Disk.

I wanting to use an old 80gig USB external hard drive to boot Ubuntu 12.04 Live onto a netbook (one that doesn't have a disc drive).

I was able to get it to see an SD memory card, but not the USB external drive. Shouldn't it show all USB drives?

This is only a problem in the gtk version for me.
