needs better feedback if no USB disk is found

Bug Description

I think usb-creator could do with some improved feedback if no USB disk is found. At the moment, the only indication of this is that the USB disk selection widget, the space slider, and the Apply button are greyed out. It would be better to give the user some indication of what they need to do (i.e. insert a USB disk; then what? do they need to restart usb-creator, or will it pick up the new disk for itself? etc.).
