I think you will find it is the U3 part of the USB stick that is the problem.

U3 is an emulated CD drive that is set to load various embedded apps with the remainder of the space available for data. This system works with windows but not with anything else I've found - linux and OS/2 ignore the U3 part and just see the data partition. Unfortunately the one U3 stick I have has had the U3 part removed si I'm unable to test and see what is going on when it is plugged into an EE. I do know that I can read a real CD if it is attached via USB - at least my home made USB CD adapter works for me.
