    Troubles booting from USB stick.

    I have a known USB stick that works well with all distros and window's OS's.

    I tried burning Kali Linux 32bit and 64bit. Both refuse to boot off the USB device. Even though said USB device has been used to install Backtrack 5 r3 and Debian, Windows XP in the past on the same laptop.

    Laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5825.

    What happens is, I boot off the USB Kali Linux, The screen comes up black. with a blinking not a cursor but looks like "_" on the top left. I can't type with it, just blinks on this black screen. I can't even get to the menu that would say "Live, Install, Safe Install" etc, etc.

    Tried using Rufus and win32k disk imager as well.
