** Description changed:

+ Facts:
+ * When a dedicated Ubuntu ISO is installed on a USB flash sticks (for example ubuntu-23.04-desktop-amd64.iso via usb-creator-gtk), the USB device will not be listed in the "Select drive" during the Ubuntu installation.
+ * If you add a Ubuntu ISO (or several ISOs) to the multiboot ISO tool Ventoy, the USB device will be availble and even pre-selected in the "Select drive" during the Ubuntu installation.
+ 
+ 
  Step to reproduce
  * Install Ventoy (https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy/releases) on a USB device.
  * Copy ubuntu-23.04-desktop-amd64.iso to the VENTOY partition.
  * Shut down the compuer
  * Boot the Ventoy USB device, and select ubuntu-23.04-desktop-amd64.iso
  
  See Bug attachments "1-3-proposed.jpg", and "2-2-proposed.jpg", the red
  text "[installation source]" is the proposed text that I added with text
  manipulation software to make my idea clear.
  
  The same issue will be reproduced if you run Ventoy from a SATA SSD
  without USB adapter.

** Summary changed:

- Warn if the installation source device is selected as installation target
+ Hide storage devices from "Select drive" during the installation that is booted from multiboot ISO tools
