USB Flash Drive showing up as LOCAL DISK

Note:  While my old SanDisk Cruzer Glide USB flash drive is listed as type “Local Disk” in Windows 10 Explorer, nevertheless Rufus was able to create a bootable  drive out of it from a Parted Magic iso file.  Macrium Reflect also created a bootable rescue disk from it, and I expect Windows 10 itself would create one as well.  So my problem was that UNetBootin simply did not recognize a USB drive if it appeared as type “Local Disk”.  I submitted this as an issue (#155) to the UNetBootin GitHub repository.
