You probably need to make a UEFI bootable memory stick.

and set the boot order in bios to read the usb stick first

i have set it so it does read the usb first, i'll try the ufei memory stick though...

External boot devices maybe disabled in your bios. Check that too.

Might be a stick-related problem.  Some sticks simply don't want to be bootable. 

 

Whenever I turn an Emtec stick into a pendrive, my laptop doesn't even want to go into the boot device selection menu.  Do the same procedure on one of my PNY sticks and it just works. 

No idea why this happens, the tool that puts the Linux on the stick also takes care of the bootable flags etc, so I see no reason why it's even possible.   I eventually decided to blame it on Obama
