===========
Press F12 when booting, to choose to boot from USB/removable
To set your computer to always check for USB, do the following:
Restart your computer. When you see the Dell logo, hit F2 to go
into the BIOS settings. Under the System menu (left hand side of
the screen), use the arrow keys to navigate down to Boot Sequence
and hit enter. Highlight "USB Storage Device" and use the U (move
up) and D keys (move down) to move that device to be first in the
list. Then press ESC and exit the BIOS. Restart your computer and
it should boot from USB first.
