Answer 1

It's probably that your system type is UEFI which doesn't recognize bootable device if there are no EFI files in the disk image. First check your bootable USB if there is a directory name /EFI/BOOT/.efi extension files.

If there is none then You have to manually create a folder in your bootable USB as /EFI/BOOT/paste efi files here. Folder name is case sensitive.

Download all EFI files from here and copy them to that folder.

Which model you are using?
