For some odd reason, my current attempt to do this had no problem mounting the install USB drive. Which then led me to realize that the problem is something else. After figuring out where anaconda keeps log, I found that the error isn't that it couldn't find the drive. Rather, it couldn't find the file: media/repodata/0dafccfdbf892f02acca8267ade4bdcee7280a682e65dc7e29145f3341fd7a8c-primary.sqlite.bz2 (the target machine doesn't have network so there might be typo in the filename due to manual copy) listing the USB drive shows that the repodata directory has the file BUT missing the -primary.sqlite.bz2 extension. In fact, none of the human-unfriendly file names have any extension. In case it was an error transferrring the ISO to USB, I checked the ISO and found that the repodata directory appears the same. In comparison, browsing online mirrors such as http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/CentOS/6.5/os/x86_64/repodata/ shows all the similar looking files have extensions. But the ISO's md5/sha1 checksums are correct. Based on the information in TRANS.TBL, I added the extensions to the files and anaconda was able to proceed to the package selection. I will start a new email to check if there is a problem with the ISO on mirrors.
