A pattern has been discovered: booting a PC from USB Flash depends on the manufacturer. 1\) An orange 16 GB Smartbuy flash drive was purchased from DNS (USB Flash 16 GB Smartbuy Glossy [SB16GBGS-Or](https://www.dns-shop.ru/product/da64d20fbc21ed20/pamat-usb-flash-16-gb-smartbuy-glossy-sb16gbgs-or/) price 599 rub.) 2\) A green 16 GB flash drive of the same brand Smartbuy was purchased on Ozon, the same brand and volume - 16 GB USB Smartbuy [Glossy series](https://ozon.ru/t/k7v4ZZk) green. The same Linix distribution (antiX runit 23.2 x64) is written to both flash drives using the same live-usb-maker. The orange flash drive works when loading BIOS and UEFI, but the green one is not detected in the PC BIOS and does not boot. Works only in UEFI. Diagnostics revealed the following differences between USB Flash. | | Orange flash drive Smartbuy Glossy 16 Gb | Green flash drive Smartbuy Glossy 16 Gb | |---|---|---| | Brand in lsusb | abcd:1234 LogiLink UDisk flash drive | 13fe:4300 Kingston Technology Company Inc.
