I often distribute USB copies of various Linux distributions. For this to be of ANY use, USB drives MUST be able to boot from laptops/desktops. After the first attempt to create a bootable USB installation drive failed, I tried again using a different drive. Four of the 10 discs in this pack were used to create a bootable USB. I've made various attempts with 3 different ISOs of Ubuntu as well as a copy of ReactOS. None of them booted from my laptop or my desktop. This is a process I've successfully done maybe hundreds of times over the last ten years. This is the first USB drive I've come across that works great as a simple mass storage device, but cannot be recognized by any computer as a bootable device. Even if I could manage to create a bootable USB stick from one of these devices, some low-rated comments made me wonder if it could even work on multiple computers. In a word: shit.
