This is why you should run the CLI physdiskwrite first without the disk you want to write to in place, then cancel. Insert the disk, rerun, and you will see which disk is now present which was not before. You can then select that one by the number which is given in the list of drives.
Obviously, WARNING: make sure you are confident before doing any of this, or you can overwrite your OS.
