Bug Description

When you have more than one USB drives plugged in on your computer (i.e., E:, F:, G:, H: and so on), if you invoke the program in a command window:

unetbootin method=diskimage isofile=C:\Users\Operator\Downloads\CentOS-6.2-i386-LiveCD.iso installtype=USB targetdrive=H: autoinstall=yes

It actually extracts the iso to E:, not H:.

It always picks up the first USB drive in the drop-down box of the GUI even the target drive specified is a different drive (in my case: I specified H: but it extracts to E:)

I have repeatedly tested this and it always does the same no matter which drive you specify.

Can someone fix this ASAP? It can be risky because it may wipe out your other USB drive if it is listed as the first drive in the dropdown box of the GUI. I contacted author about this a few weeks ago but got no response.
