From
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/install-linux-with-ease-using-unetbootin/ :
At the bottom, choose your drive from the drop down (if it doesn’t show
up in the list, make sure the type is set to flash drive, that your
flash drive is plugged in, and that other programs like a file manager
can open it””if it still doesn’t show, try closing and re-opening
UNetbootin).
If you still have a problem, please provide details regarding distro,
versions (distro and unetbootin), how you installed unetbootin, etc.
