    Hey,
    for my mobo (asus) it detects usb devices as hard drives. so if i want to boot using a usb stick you have to push the usb stick to the top of the list above your hard drives. your mobo might do the same. took me awhile to work it out.

    if you have a vista disc you can try this
    just ignore step 3 and 4.

    if you want a fat32 boot flash drive follow this
    make sure you select the correct disk it might not be disc1
    btw if you use windows xp diskpart is slightly different.
