After trying the sticks I have, I thought that they may be rather old and not suited for boot, and I bought a SanDisk Cruzer, which many times is reported as suitable.
But I still do not have any success.
I do not want to tell all the trials I made wit the HP formatting utility, with PE2USB and PEToUSB etc.
I think that is a HW issue:
In the event log there can be found:
During boot:
Once:
English like:Der Dienst "NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller" wurde aufgrund folgenden Fehlers nicht gestartet:
Der angegebene Dienst kann nicht gestartet werden. Er ist deaktiviert oder nicht mit aktivierten Geräten verbunden.
The service "NEC PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller" has not been started because of the error: The service cannot be started. It is either not activated or bound to not activated devices
And only is the stick plugged in (only during boot, never later) I get several errors:
English like:Der Treiber hat einen Controllerfehler auf \Device\Harddisk0\D gefunden.
The driver detected a controller failure on \Device\Harddisk0\D
Any opinion what's going wrong or what I can do?
