Oh yes, I've faced this in the past too. Some computers have a boot
menu, and you have to boot your drive from there, otherwise it won'= t
work, even if you put USB boot on the BIOS setup. Just like the "p= ress
delete to enter setup", some have a "press f8 (or f12 or some= other
key) to enter boot menu".
