If a dump fails, right now new users get confused by the massive list of missing files. Because of that, we need to add something that is nicer alongside that to make it easier to read. Unfortunately, DIC doesn't have a nice way of saying if a dump failed due to an unsupported drive, as far as I'm aware.

Add "This may indicate an issue with the hardware or media" to the log after the list of missing files just to make it that much more apparent.
