Booting from USB drive can be a little bit tricky. First, your BIOS has to support booting from USB. Some BIOSes recognize USB storage device as separate device, some recognize as regular hard drive. In any case, you have to set the booting priority. Second, your USB device has to "behave" good. Some USB devices work properly as just a storage, but start failing if you try to boot something like Linux from them. The recommended practice is trying several devices of several manufacturers and selecting the best.
