Make sure you are selecting the correct one in the bios some times a usb can come up as 2 devices.

BIOS detects it automatically

BIOS detects it automatically

It detects the usb drive ,but does not automatically boot from it.You have to set that in the boot order.No biggie....either way he will figure it out eventually.
