Another update... I just tried checking the installer on my other laptop (Dell Vostro V13); the hard drive neatly comes up as sda. However, on my VAIO, the hard drive still shows up as sdb and the flash drive as sda. I guess the VAIO is interpreting the flash drive differently, and I don't really understand why. In short, I have been duped for the last two months. So usb drive it is to install lucid on the Dell and a CD for the VAIO. Still perplexed because the karmic installer gave me no such issues.
