hey there, Today I used Mediawriter to install a Windows installation into my Flash disk 'sniff', Since It didn't work (for some reason) I basically just kept rebooting and trying again with another iso file 'crying' while doing that my 1Tb HDD 'sobs' was plugged in and It was fine at first until my flash disk wasn't plugged in and I pressed next 'TEARS' I wiped my entire drive with a windows installation. Please make it so that you choose the target device manually and not automatically PLEASE

Show a warning dialog in case we are going to erase drive > 32GB

It can happen that the user connects a drive by mistake or forgets to
disconnect it, and it's unfortunate if the drive is accidentally erased.
In this case, display a warning dialogue that the user is using a drive
larger than 32GB.

Fixes FedoraQt#742

Hi, I'm really sorry to hear that, it's really unfortunate.

I have submitted #744. I hope this can prevent situations like the one that happened to you.

thanks for the pull request but I think adding the ability for the user to click the select menu and select the drive himself will be also crucial into eliminating these types of problems ❤️
