Hello Brix,

two desktop computers have no problem to boot from this stick, it is only
this notebook.

I have a Kingston Data Traveler flash drive, but there is also a Data
Traveler Elite version. The main difference I can see is that Elite is
claimed to be bootable. Maybe only the Elite version supports this 'boot
protocol'. Anyway some computers can boot from my ordinary Traveler. Maybe
a thinkpad is more demanding.
