Laptop doing fine, ignoring it's flash drive altogether. Not sure if
security on it was frozen (have read some about that...)

On my homebuild similar issue--wanting Lubuntu on both machines, laptop for
mobility, homebuild for media.

On homebuild, install crashed after shred of purchased single flash drive.
Went back and zeroed it, and then install finished fine.

I like zeroing---kind of like replaning brakes in a car-- slightly
destructive, but man, does it get you up and running!
