I'm very new to this and have no clue how to go about correcting this.
When the bio screen screen opens, can you see words: BOOT (key #) SETUP (key#)?
You have to push the boot key when bio comes up. If you have to enter BIOs, set usb to boot first.
Mine doesn't say 'external drive', it says usb or flash, but computers are different, so you may have to research yours.
How did you put the iso image onto the stick?
