Some computers contain buggy BIOS versions. Booting from pendrive did
not work on my previous 32-bit PC either, even though the BIOS was set
to do so. Fortunately, it does on my new 64-bit PC.
If it does not work in your PC (did booting from pendrive _ever_ work
with it?), then there are still a couple of other options you can try,
as described here (section 3.6.2, last two paragraphs):
