    There is a very detailed description here:

    But if your USB memory sticks are defective in some way, I don't think any instructions will help much. Buy a new one :) Not all USB sticks are bootable.

    PS. You have changed the AA1 BIOS settings to allow booting from USB, haven't you? Just a thought.
