It's an interesting problem, because there are no standard "drive pickers" on the Mac. The only example of one I can think of is the one in Installer, and I don't think that'd help much at all.

Additional information in there might help -- size and such -- and while we could do that we consciously didn't to try to make things as simple as possible in the listing.

Of course, there's also drag and drop, where we force you to drag things in from the Finder, like Disk Utility itself. I find that incredibly counter-intuitive and obscure (and reviewed all this stuff with one of Apple's UI guys just a few days ago, and he agreed).

There are always things to improve, of course. And we're always taking notes about what people are suggesting or having trouble with. We'll continue to try to improve things as time goes on...
