Drives without a letter assigned displayed as a blank space (followed by a separator)

See original GitHub issue

Etcher version: Beta 13
Operating system and architecture: Windows 10
Do you see any meaningful error information on DevTools? N/A

When I select a drive that doesn’t have a letter assigned (either there is no partition on the drive or there isn’t a partition with a letter) the drive is shown as - 2.0 GB. The name is empty, so there’s just a dash followed by the size.

I think it should say one of the following:

<no name> - 2.0 GB
<unnamed> - 2.0 GB
<unformatted> - 2.0 GB
2.0 GB
\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE3 - 2.0 GB

The last one would be preferred, because it is the most informative.

I’ve fixed this issue by printing the device ID if a drive letter is not assigned to the drive. Lets keep this open for tooltip/more info discussion.

After some discussion, it is unlikely that we will show the physical drive internal path, since its irrelevant to the big majority of our users. We will of course do show it if there is no drive letter to supersede it.

Thanks a lot!
