If you ran that script then it might be time to reinstall the drive. Did

Could not get it to boot. Removing and reinserting did not help
Samuel was referrring to reinstalling the software to the drive, not
reinserting the drive in the socket.
Oh.
This is a bootable Fedora dive I carry with me to
customer sites. It has all my wonderful tools on it
for networking and rescuing corrupted Windows computers.
Problem: it is a one shot use. I have to wipe and
reinstall the things every time I use it in the field.
As far as I can tell, something is royally corrupting
my /boot. It is a total pain in my neck.
So I am after a script I can run at my office to repair
my ability to boot. (Every thing else on the stick
is okay.)
Even though I have wonderful directions on how and what
to reinstall Fedora on the stick, I am tired of it and
am in no mood to continue reinstalling every thing
every time I use it in the field.
