When rebooting the computer, you will briefly see the logo. Depending on
the brand, you might need to repeatedly mash the F10 or F12 key before you
see the copmuter brand logo to bring it either tot he BIOS screen or the
boot selection screen. It dependent on brand specifically, so perhaps
search online for "usb boot" and the brand name...
