In my case I am using 8 GB pen drive. So the pen drive I am using is displayed as Disk 2 in my list..Now we have to select the disk type SELECT DISK 2
For more conventions again type LIST DISK .In this process you should be aware about the USB drive you are going to select. Because if you select wrong USB drive definitely you will lose your data.
Now you can see a star mark in front of the disk name
