Two "flash drives" of one manufacturer purchased in different stores behave differently.

A pattern is found: loading a PC with USB Flash depends on the manufacturer.

1) in the DNS was bought an orange flash drive 16 GB of brand smartbuy (USB Flash 16 ГБ SmarTBUY GLOSSY SB16GBGS -or ценой 599 руб.)
2) a green flash drive 16 GB of the same brand S was bought on Ozonmartbuy, такой же марки и объёма - 16 ГБ USB SmarTbuy Glossy Series Green.

On both flash drives of the same Live-USB-maker записан один и тот же дистрибутив Linix (antiX rUnit 23.2 x64)
The orange flash drive works when loading BIOS and UEFI, and the green is not determined in the BIOS PC and does not load. It works only in UEFI.

Diagnosis revealed the following differences between USB Flash.
