does that option not appear even when your usb is plugged in?
have you looked under "hard drives"? if your motherboard doesn't have that option i believe you cannot boot from a usb device.

You can, you just need to format it properly so that it reads it as a floppy. Check those google sites.

What kind of USB drive are you trying to boot from, what's on it, and what motherboard do you have?
