The OP might have one of many x86-based Android distributions around.

@Adie83: Check your BIOS, make sure booting off USB is allowed. Depending on the PC/Laptop, booting off SD card directly might not be supported, so I would try first with know-to-work USB flash disk.

That's because Android based OS' aren't bootable on PC's.
Android is written for an ARM architecture using the ARM instruction set while your standard PC uses the x86 instruction set.
These are not directly compatible so your CPU would not be able to process the data on your SD card so it cannot boot from it.
