Are you pressing F12 during startup to access the boot select menu? Press the power button to turn the laptop on, and immediately start pressing F12 repeatedly. If it brings up the boot menu select removable device. If it doesn't bring up the boot menu try holding F12 BEFORE powering the laptop on, and continue holding F12 until the boot menu appears
