It wouldn't really matter if ownership wasn't maintained (likely that
your USB stick doesn't use a Linux filesystem), you could just change
the ownerships and permissions when write the file into your new
system.

e.g. chown root:root path-and-name-of-your-files

And probably:

chmod rwxrwxr-- path-and-name-of-your-files
