   Thats the thing : it started to work right (with the same USB stick and   
   files!) when I unticked that (grayed-out) "Enable write caching on the   
   disk".   
      
   But yes, a certain kind of USB access that only happens by the write caching   
   mechanism could be it.   
      
   ... and thats pretty-much what I'm looking for : an MS based confirmation.   
   They should know - and perhaps even how to prevent it from it happening   
   again/elsewhere.
