Hi Ian,

This kind of USB drives, cloned from the iso files, have a very special 
system of partitions, that is not recognized correctly by gparted. It is 
made from a 'hybrid' iso file, and should work from both a DVD disk and 
USB pendrive.

Another program, lsblk, is more successful. Make a very wide terminal 
window and run the command

sudo lsblk -fm

After all, the important thing is that the computer can boot from it, 
not that gparted can read it ;-)

Best regards
Nio
