Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong that even with a media recovery usb flash, I cant get it to load? PLEASE HELP!!

What's the make and model of the system? What is on the HDD now and how have you tried to use the recovery drive? There is a key you need to press to get to a boot menu, depending on the system manufacturer.

HP - F9
Dell - F12
Acer/Gateway - F10
ASUS - F8

Press the given key repeated on startup (just keep pressing it right after you power on the system) with the thumb drive connected until a menu with a choice of boot options appears. Then select the thumb drive.

HDD is short for hard drive. Have you tried different USB ports?

How was the USB flash drive prepared? Did you do it yourself or was it provided for you?
