@Mpeca First make sure you're using a USB flash drive rather than a USB external hard drive or SSD. Some systems will only boot via USB from flash drives. If you're already doing that, try a different flash drive. I've seen some systems that simply won't boot from certain flash drives even though they'll work with them as regular data devices just fine.

@Mpeca
If the USB that you have created is not bootable, it will not show up in the boot choices.
Which OS are you trying to install?

Yes, I use only USB memory stick. The problem is the BIOS list.

@Mpeca
There should be tutorials on creating a bootable USB for whichever Linux distro you want to install.
Since your BIOS is not UEFI you shouldn't have problems doing that.
I use Linux Mint.
