Try creating that USB stick with yumi (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator...) and try to boot from it again.

For future readers who find this solution a little explanation might help.
Some BIOSs will recognize a bootable flash drive as a hard drive. If you go to the BIOS and see a + sign next to HDD in the boot preferences then it is indicating more than one hard drive is available. Click on the plus and you can then promote your USB ahead of the actual hard drive.
I have a theory as to why the BIOS coders would put the USB drive under HDD AND then offer a USB boot option that seemingly wouldn't ever be of use. They were taking a break from quite possibly the least glamorous coding there is and were smoking some of that special tobacky they got out in California and one of the said "You know what'd be funny..."
