I noticed that this issue does not appear under atvusb-creator-1.0.b12 or
atvusb-creator-1.0.b10

Sometimes you need to search a bit. A quick look at recent revisions show only 
devices > 256MB and < 64GB are shown in b13

Thanks. Can this be overridden? Alternatively can I partition my external USB 
drive
to make it look smaller?

Never used atvusb (windows dev not Mac), but I am pretty sure it checks the 
size of 
the device not the volume. It would be ridiculous to do otherwise, Davilla 
please 
feel free to chime in and confirm this. Simple way of overriding would be to 
use a 
lower version, but take warning, this setting is here for a reason. You need a 
minimum of 256MB to fit the disk image, but anything higher than 64GB is likely 
a 
hard drive, and a lot of people have accidently erased the wrong drive.

Not possible to override. The clamp was added to prevent accidental formating 
of USB hard drives. The record so 
far was a 4TB USB disk array...

Of course any previous versions prior to 1.0b13 will allow this. But there is 
no 
point, drives are cheap and really I wouldn't be putting patchsticks on 
anything > 
than 64gb
