Ramash,
I have been glancing at this without much attention, therefore,
I wondering if you tried:
sudo lshw | egrep -nA 23 disk >> disk.txt
Which will give a list of all disks the OS sees. 
A second question, did you format the USB disk as primary?
If you did then no OS booting off another primary disk will
ever "see" that disk.  GPartEd will see it but it will never
register with the OS that is NOT booting from it.
