It appears that we have been able to resolve the issue. We borrowed another team's 2011 Update for 2010 Classmate and ran the CTL autoinstaller from there, which completely resolved the issue. Upon further investigation, the two flash drives (ours', and the one that worked) were slightly indifferent, with a different file called E09IMAGE vs. E11IMAGE (the E09 was the one that worked), and different sizes of the INSTALL.WIM file. The flash drive that worked had its file size as 2,998,889KB, while the non-working one was 3,127,726KB.

From these results, I have to conclude that we were sent the flash drive with the wrong image (perhaps the 2011 Update for 2011 Classmates badged incorrectly?). The BSoD (Blue Screen) error we were receiving indicated some sort of error with boot-class drivers, and maybe the connection between the hard drive and the motherboard - especially changing the modes of the SATA controllers. However (completely hypothetical), the 2010 Classmate is a Parallel ATA-type solid-state drive. Maybe, the 2011 one is a SATA drive.

Either way, our issue - caused by FIRST - has been remedied. I suggest anyone else with this problem tries to borrow a flash drive from another team.
