RJL, in hindsight, I should not have made multi-boot USB sticks. Some people could not boot Feren, and some could not boot Mint - seemingly in the order in which I loaded them onto the stick. My app would not let me make a multi-boot with Zorin at all.
Go to the Mint website and follow their instructions for downloading the current version and making a bootable stick. Format the stick I sent you first. That should cure your issues.
Also in hindsight, I don't much like Feren. I've installed it three times now and it doesn't perform as quickly as others. I was drawn to it because it offers you a choice of eight different browsers to install, but that doesn't make up for its sluggishness.
