Hi Stacy,

Well Maybe the files on that failed USB stick are "corrupted" in some way, have you still got the original files somewhere? if so formate that USB and re-copy the original files onto that Stick, if you dont have the original files, and they only exist on that USB stick then, try opening the USB Stick on a different computer, copy them locally to that PC, then reformat the USB, then copy back to USB Stick and try again on your new Vaio.

Good Luck!
