It may be that the c i trying to boot from the usb device.
Check your settings in the bios to see what order you have set for botting.
I'm not actually sure you can boot from a usb device but this will be worth looking at. make sure you Primary hard drive is set first in the list or second after the cd rom drive.

confirm you wrote the image to the flashcontinual good. you won't be in a position to easily replica it onto thecontinual and anticipate it to be bootable. additionally, some flash drives basically won't paintings no count what you do. If I have been you, i could attempt burning it to a CD or DVD (whichever is suitable) and utilising that particularly.

it does the same with my i-pod
it isnt a boot problem because the HDD isnt accessed before the bios freezes.
its a mystery
