8GB Flashdisk from Aspire One

[falther]

Good morning,

I replaced the 8GB flash disk from an Aspire One with a Toshiba 80GB ZIF drive.
Worked fine and Windows XP is installed perfectly.

I wanted to clone the Windows from flash drive to the Toshiba drive to save my
time. I connected the 8GB flash drive with a ZIF to 2,5" adapter into two different
pc. Both did not recognise it, but recognised the Toshiba ZIF drive perfectly in the
bios. I used in all cases the same ZIF to 2,5" adapter, which also converts the 5V
to 3.3V.

I can live with it, but what is the difference?
