The problem is not common.

Here is something you can try, if you want to.

Download Rufus, it's for Windows.
http://rufus.akeo.ie/

Format the USB to MS-DOS.

Download Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.1 it should run on an old computer, and
burn it to the USB.
http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2714

If your computer recognizes the USB, it will boot.
