[Bug 622654] Re: usb-creator wipe the whole disk, not only the selected partition

I just experienced this with Natty trying to create an Oneiric installer
on a USB stick. To my technical eye "erase disk" means "erase this
partition", i.e. the partition that it's presented to me, in my case
/dev/sdd1. I did not expect it to erase /dev/sdd!
