Thank you, Kyle. Indeed, the boot order behavior of Dell Machines like 
mine is somewhat unpredictable. My machine was set to boot the USB stick 
first, but it usually booted to the hard drive when I rebooted from a 
USB stick. I had to first halt the machine completely, then turn it on 
again so that it would boot into the stick again. In any case, this is 
the first time it has refused to boot into the stick automatically, 
forcing me to press F11 and select it manually.

Cheers,
Cleverson
