USB Not Select-able from Boot Menu

1

I installed Ubuntu on a USB drive following these instructions: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-the-easy-way/

When I go to boot menu the USB drive does not show up. I also downloaded Make Bootable Device from: http://www.megaleecher.net/Make_Bootable_USB and my USB drive is not select-able from this program either.

I am running Windows 7 on a 64 bit machine.

1Have you ever boot your system form the USB? – avirk – 2012-06-21T19:42:40.017

Have you configured BIOS to try booting from USB before booting from HD? – kokbira – 2012-06-22T02:42:37.213

It this device bootable from other machines? If not, it is the drive. If it does boot, it means your motherboard does not support booting from USB.
