Hi Peter,

To confirm my understanding, are you saying that the computer was able
to boot SoaS, but is now unable to? Does the same stick work on other
PCs? I'm trying to narrow down whether the problem is with the stick
or the computer.

You could also try making another stick and testing that. The sticks I
gave in Cairns should have all the files required for this. Take a
look at the readme.html file on there for directions.

Cheers,
Sridhar
