Or is there some way of > booting from a flash drive please? Test the USB drive on another computer, to make sure that it is indeed a valid, bootable device.

Presuming the USB drive has been created successfully, fiddle with the BIOS parameters to elevate the USB priority to maximum temporarily. Is it BIOS or UEFI?
