    I think most of the newer ones should work fine. I've had good luck with SanDisk Micro Cruzer. However, sometimes a USB will just stop booting for no apparent reason. This can usually be fixed by reformatting it (formatting it in windows seems to work better than formatting it using Linux).

    Thank you for your answer.
    I can't reformatting my SanDisk Micro Cruzer. The security software prevent this :-(
    How can I still reformat the stick?

    In Linux:
    Code:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
    (replace /dev/sdb with the appropriate device for your SanDisk MicroCruzer). Then format it with your favorite formatting program. Unlike Jim K, I've not had any problems formatting my USB sticks from Linux. Obviously YMMV.

    Sorry to see that. I'm afraid I don't know how to completely reformat a USB stick in Windows.
