   So I've downloaded several older versions and it wasn't until 2.0.0.3   
   until I got it working again.   
      
   2.0.2.8 works as following:   
      
   1. Select your USB Device   
   2. Select a Distribution from the list to put   
   3. Select the ISO   
      
   2.0.0.3   
   1. Select a Distribution   
   2. Browse and select the ISO   
   3. Select the drive letter of your USB   
      
   Formatted as FAT32, NTFS or exFat, nothing works for 2.0.2.8.
