Jeff:

Apparently I was using an OLDER version of Win32DiskImager.

When I downloaded the latest version win32diskimager-v0.7-binary.zip
the problem went away.

I hadn't realized that there was a newer version out there since the program
does not show it's version number anywhere in the box and does not have an
About button or any way to display the current version once you have it
installed.

Thanks for fixing this sorry to report a bug that is already fixed.
