Under the advanced tab there is often an option to enable USB ports and an option for legacy USB support. Make sure both of those are enabled.

Also, if you have usb 2.0 and 3.0 ports, try removing everything from those and trying the usb boot drive in each of them one at a time.

Oh and check under the boot tab for a usb support option. Make sure that it is fully enabled - sometimes it says something like "full initialization."

Shmoochie is correct. But if all of those are enabled and it still doesnt work and it's a new install on the USB you might have to redo it. If something is wrong it obviously cant boot and will just skip it.

I have done it many times also. And recently set up the USB like I always have, everything seemed like it went fine. But when I tried to boot from it, it just kept skipping it like yours. Somewhere in my USB set up something didnt go correctly but it didnt tell me that. (I tested with an old linux boot USB I had and that worked. So I knew something went wrong with my windows usb).
