I created Bootable usb drive
I went to bios and chose it as a primary booting device.
When I boot it, It still boots windows and not the USB storage. I pressed F12 and chose it from there, still it booting windows but not Installation file on the USB drive.
First off describe how you made a bootable USB. I used UNetbootin - Homepage and DownloadsI refuse to let fear and fear of others rule my life. It puts my humanity at risk.

I have 1 GB Transcend mp3 player (that could be used as Storage device). I used UNetbootin and created bootable installation USB. I tried to boot it and I end up in windows again.

You need to make sure that your 1 GB Transend Mp3 Player is formatted as Fat32 file system for it to work. I used a Kingston 2 gig Flash drive and I made sure I formatted first as fat32 before I used Netbootin on it. Hope that Helps Echomaster.

Glad you got it sorted though in a round about way. All I can think is that the bios in Acer Aspire One doesn't recognise your Usb Mp3 as a USB bootable device because it is a Mp3. Probably the software that comes with a Mp3 Player is what is at fault.
