I was gonna say "software issue" but must have accidentally
hit some key that meant "send" :-).

Anyway, "C" may be more important:

C. Check the manufacturers web site for your USB drive
to see if they have a firmware update for the drive itself.

I had two different USB drives and one worked and one
didn't on my new motherboard till I found someone mentioning
a drive firmware update and found it fixed my problem.
