Most modern PCs have the ability to boot from a removable device, many older computers do not.

Regardless, you generally have to use a program like unetbootin to make a bootable USB key. 

In the BIOS you need to go to boot devices (under advanced, normally) and set the REMOVABLE DEVICES to be the highest priority.  YOu normally press + to move them up, or PgUp.
