You flow step by step

1.Change the BIOS boot order so the USB device option is listed first.
2. Attach the USB device to your computer via any available USB port.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Watch for a Press any key to boot from external device... message.
 5. Bootable CD/DVD stick.
( Boot ISOs from your keychain. Flash drive with CD/DVD emulation.)

Tips:

1. Recheck the boot order in BIOS (Step 1). The number one reason a bootable flash drive or other USB device won't boot is because BIOS is not configured to check the USB port first.
2. Didn't find a "USB Device" boot order listing in BIOS? If your computer was manufactured around 2001 or before, it may not have this ability. If your computer is newer, check for some other ways that the USB option might be worded. In some BIOS versions, it's called "Removable Devices" or "External Devices".
3. Remove other USB devices. Other connected USB devices, like printers, external media card readers, etc., could be consuming too much power, or causing some other problem, which is preventing the computer from booting from flash drive or other device. Unplug all other USB devices and try again.
4. Switch to another USB port. The BIOS on some motherbord only check the first few USB ports. Switch to another USB port and restart your computer.
5. Copy the files to the USB device again. If you created the bootable flash drive or external hard drive yourself, which you probably did, repeat whatever steps you took again. You may have made a mistake during the process.
