Did you make sure to not only add it to the BIOS, but make it the 'First' option when launching the computer?

If not, then I would suggest that.

Also, if the problem persists, you may have to set it up so that the USB is the only one that loads. Then change that once you have fixed the computer.

Thanks for reply, yes made it the first option and saved changes.
How do I set it that the usb is the only one that loads ?
(No CD/Dvd drive on this model)
Thanks.

Before trying that, which takes a serious amount of time and effort (and doesn't always work), try the following.

It is possible it is the USB and also the way the data was put on it. You might want to try putting it on a different USB and see if the computer will read it. I have had that issue before. Some brands just don't like each other. You could check with Toshiba and see if there is a preferred USB brand that works with their motherboard.

Also, if it was just 'copied' over then it may not recognize it. You need to actually have it burned on the USB drive. Here is a link to a program that can do that (burn it to the USB)... http/www.isotousb.com/ .. of course there are probably others out there as well.
