This appears to be a known issue with a lot of Intel motherboards. I've been trying for two days to find a way around it, but I think I'm out of luck. This only applies to people getting the message "boot error" as soon as the PC tries to boot from the flash drive. If you are getting any other error, this isn't your problem.
This site has a cool little test you can do to see if your computer is able to boot from a flash drive. My system fails on it:

The last post on this page explains the issue pretty well:

This is all just a FYI. If you're getting this message there's probably nothing you can do. I've tried two different flash drives and neither one works.
