Hi oday,

Have you double checked that the USB option that you choose is the first one in the Boot sequence?

Also, one of the options in my Bios is "Removable" and that works for me on USB-pen booting.

When I go into my Bios I have the USB stick already loaded and it then the Bios lists it as an Sandisk-xxxxx and I put that as the first one in the Boot sequence - which I believe its listed as USB-HDD0

Also, another thing to note is that its not always called a "pen-drive", different places and hardware use different names
