Description of problem:
If i create an windows 10 install USB with creator, then close and restart the creator, then the creator is no longer recognizing the usb device. The message is:

"There are no portable drives connected."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

liveusb-creator-3.92.1-1.fc23.noarch

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.use creator to put  windows 10 uinstall iso on USB
2.close creator ; open creator
3.

Actual results:
The creator does not see any USB device

Expected results:
The creator sees the USB device

Additional info:
if you use 'dd' or another method to put a fedora 24 netinstall on the USB stick, then the creator sees the USB device.

i've just noticed another thing: the w10 device is mounted as /dev/sdb , no partitions are involved.
and i remember the original creator wanted one usb stick with one partition formatted as fat32.
maybe it's related.

I have same problem after writing dragonfly bsd's .img. and also there are no partitions in the usb stick.

Comment 3 sumantro 2016-04-21 11:02:20 UTC
I have the exact same thing.

Comment 4 Martin Bříza 2016-04-22 15:51:26 UTC
Sorry guys, the tool is not intended for usage with anything else than Linux (and especially Fedora) installation and live media.
