​Hi there.  Try booting up and loading the bios.  Check that it is sniffing
around for usb sticks and DVD's etc by default before trying to boot from
the hard drive.  If the default is the hard drive you need to change the
boot order to include the device ie DVD drive or USB stick etc.

It sounds like that might not be the problem here but it is worth checking
anyway.

If you have a DVD drive in the PC try burning the iso onto it and booting
from it instead and see what happens.

Cheers
