Ummm, I hesitate to teach Dr DOS about eggs, but could it be the BIOS needs

And ... The BIOS on my desktop allows control of which devices are allowed for
boot, and in which order.

Subject: [OM] Boot failure advice?
A friends computer wont boot. ...
I have no idea why the drive can be read from and written to by Reflect
but the end product is not bootable. I have some other cloning software
where marking the drive as bootable or changing the drive ID on the
clone are options. But the free version of Reflect has no such options
and, of course, works on my own computer just fine.
Anyone got a suggestion as to where to look?
As above, look to the BIOS. I have used Reflect Free on both desktop and laptop. But never attempted to boot from the
clone via USB. If you want to see where the problem lies, put the clone in the computer. If it boots, the problem in
somewhere in USB, BIOS, computer implementation of USB, cable, USB implementation in the toaster/case. Basic problem
isolation.
U Should Be able to figure it out.
