Boot from a USB when pc is dual booted

[Zenithal]

Well, my PC is dual booted but I am trying to boot from my USB. However, when my USB is connected, it doesn't show in the grub menu or give me an option anywhere, other than to boot into Windows or Linux. Anyone know how, if possible, I can do this?

Is there an operating system or installation files installed on the USB? If yes you can change boot priority from the boot menu in the BIOS and set the USB as your first bootable device.

There isn't an operating system on it, the USB has software that works when its on a USB that's being used as the boot device. I've tried setting the boot order to boot from USB first but when the computer is turned on, I am only shown the grub menu for windows or Linux, choosing either proceeds the computer just to boot into that OS, completely ignoring the USB

I'm assuming you're asking what format my USB is in? If so, It's Fat32.

Try reformating to NTFS and see how it goes? Also how do you create the bootable usb?

The software comes with an application that sets it up for a USB, I don't think I have to make it bootable, I'm fairly sure it does that when you run the application.

This video might help. I personally can't be of any further help, I have zero experience with this application. Sorry mate.
