There are several ways to create a bootable Win7 USB stick and some of them might not work properly.The easiest way to create a bootable Win7 -USB stick is to use the original Microsoft Win7-USB-Creator.
I should have clarified that the bootable USB stick was created using Microsoft's tool and suggested method, as stated in the link you've provided. Also, I have used the USB stick on another computer and verified that it does work, as I can boot from the USB stick.
Why the Dell Studio 1535 cannot see the USB is my main concern? Can you boot from a USB from a Dell Studio 1535? Is the motherboard on it capable of doing that?
(reply to these posts and ask if they ever found a way to solve their problem)
I have no experience with your model but I can tell you that my almost 2 year old inspiron boots perfectly from USB.
You might try a BIOS update (don't blame me the system is dead afterwards) or take a different approach to boot from USB by following tutorials on this webpage:
