Description of problem:
After installing a new SCSI drive (which becomes /dev/sdb) and low-level 
formatting it (leaving no filesystems, no partitions), hwbrowser (from desktop 
or command line) never comes up (displays a window and awaits user input). Run 
from the command line, an error pertaining to filesystem on /dev/sdb is shown 
and the program exits. 

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a hard drive with no partitions on the system. I speculate it won't 
matter whether SCSI or not.

2. Log in and run the Hardware Browser (hwbrowser from the command line)


Actual Results:  Python error messages. Shown in additional information.

Expected Results:  Hardware display window should have appeared and awaited 
user input.
