Tips:

  1. 1. Recheck the boot order in BIOS. The number one reason a bootable flash drive or other USB device won't boot is because BIOS is not configured to check the USB port first.

  2. 2. Didn't find a "USB Device" boot order listing in BIOS? If your computer was manufactured around 2001 or before, it may not have this ability. If your computer is newer, check for some other ways that the USB option might be worded. In some BIOS versions, it's called "Removable Devices" or "External Devices".

  3. 3. Change to another USB port. The BIOS on some motherboards only check the first few USB ports. Change to another USB port and restart your computer.
