Do you know that you have to extract the iso file onto the USB stick? The iso file itself will not boot the computer. The iso file is sort of like a zip file and has to be extracted. I used a app called UNetbootin; there are other apps to do this.
Also, the bios (or whatever it is called) has to be adjusted such that the computer will boot from the USB stick before the hard drive.
Two little things I did not know when I started with Linux.

Is there a way to boot an iso image directly off the hard drive? The
USB stick didn't boot, and then I found that the image didn't verify
correctly. I REALLY REALLY need to get this done soon. My old computer
might die any day. My backup script executes every night at midnight.
And every night at 12:15 I'm copying the new backup files to a USB stick
so that I won't lose them if this computer powers down and I can't get
it back on again. What advantages does 64bit software provide that
32bit doesn't?
