Hm. Same results. I wish I knew how to distinguish
"bootable" usb memory sticks from "unbootable".

What I have is an "Xstore USB Flash Drive". On the
packaging it says: "Three in one - Driveless, Bootable,
Security".=20

In the manual it says: "To use USB Flash DISK as a
bootable disk, please note, that it's necessary to
configure USB ZIP setting of the BIOS of your motherboard."

Hm. Can anybody advise, which usb memory stick to buy in
Germany, in order to be able to boot from it?

Thx.
