If your BIOS really doesn't see the USB stick, there is probably no 
chance to boot from it. However some points come to mind which you may 
want to check:

- If the USB stick is connected via a USB hub, try if it works with the 
stick connected directly to the machine.

- You could try it with the USB stick in another USB port.

- Maybe your BIOS actually does see it, but you have to change the boot 
order to put the USB stick before the other boot devices.

- I would try to boot from the stick on another machine to verify that 
it works there.
