You have to make sure that your system supports booting from a USB disk and also this option needs to be enabled in the BIOS. Please check the BIOS page and if the option to boot from USB is available, under boot options, make USB the first option, save, exit and then try to boot.

I’m facing problems with the mouse but I have tried changing it and its drivers without much help. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes when I click a word, it highlights it rather than placing the cursor within it. When I try to access a drop-down menu, the menu pops in and pops out quickly. At times, I click on a button and it just gets highlighted and I need to press enter. Any ideas?
