USB Detected as Local Disk

[usbIssues]

I'm using a SanDisk Cruzer Glide USB; and after formatting it I wanted to create my own Windows2Go, but I'm pretty much stuck because the program I'm using to create it requires it to be a USB and it isn't detected as one.

Stuff I've Tried:

• 
  ■Formatting in another OS
  ■Formatting on another computer
  ■Uninstalling the USB Drivers

I'm pretty much open minded here as I've seen plenty of other issues with this USB, I haven't found a working answer yet, and feel free to ask any questions as I really need this.

Things I've done to the USB:

• 
  ■Put Ubuntu on it
  ■Formatted it
  ■Tried installing "install.wim" onto it
  ■Screamed at it

NOTE: I don't want Windows2Go anymore, I'm just going to create a bootable Windows 7 liveUSB so don't worry about that.
