There isn't really a standard for booting from USB.  There are a few
different ways to do it.  Perhaps your bios doesn't support the method
your setup wants to use.  Or maybe the bios is not set to boot from usb,
or if it is, it is set to boot from usb using the wrong method.  What
choices does the bios have and which did you pick?
