Hello, your system is booting from the USB stick but not from the USB drive. This could be due to incorrect boot settings or a corrupted installation. Check the boot order in BIOS/UEFI and ensure the correct device is selected. If the issue persists, try resetting the bootloader or reinstalling the OS.

I suspect your "bootable" drive isn't as functional as you believe. At the very least, it should raise an issue.

The information provided is important (very so). We need details like: what kind of image or operating system should be on the USB stick? If available, share a link to the downloadable image. Explain how you created the USB image. Which computer are you using—Mac, PC, or Laptop? Is it an older or newer machine? Does it support legacy boot or UEFI? Is secure boot turned on? Some USB sticks work only with specific setups and not all. While some universal bootable USB sticks exist, they’re not common. Usually, OS installations aren’t fully compatible across all devices. Please give these details so we can understand why it isn’t booting as expected.
