USB memory stick question

[Martin Cigorraga]

"Still no go. The laptop boots from the older USB stick but not from the
newer one. However the newer USB stick is recognised, once I've booted from
the older stick, so it doesn't seem to be a USB stick fault, just an
incompatibility problem."

A shot in the dark: could it be the Verbatim stick has the firsts sectors
damaged?
To be absolutely sure that the problem is the laptop and not the stick I
suggest you try booting it from another machine.
