The stick usually is a Kanguru Flash Blue II (20 MB/s write,
24 MB/s read).  But sometimes it is a Verbatim (same speed as the
Flash Blue).

There is no rearrangement.  Usually, I try to copy and realize
it is taking forever, I cancel the copy, I insert one of my Fedora
Live Xfce CD's, and reboot.  I do not even remove the stick
from the port.

If you think it would help, I can look up the motherboard and
all, but I think the Live CD test eliminates hardware as
the problem.

Thank you for the help,
