You sure you're booting off the flash drive and that you put the ISO on it properly?

You should pick up a Blank DvD and try that, if that don't work it's probably a problem in the bios

USB is generally a very hit and miss method for installing OS in my experience - particularly with Linux I find that some motherboards just won't play nice. As others have suggested, try using an optical drive.

what OS you trying to install?

Well it's not Windows - so essentially it's either gonna be mac OS and he's trying a bootcamp method to install it, or it's Linux.

EDIT: Just remembered he has an AMD system, so if he's trying to install mac OS, he's gonna have a bad time XD

Afaik, you cannot install OSX on an AMD system. Since Apple machines only use Intel now, OSX can only be installed on Intel I believe.

10.6.6i works on amd systems.
