DSL won't boot

I did a DSL USB-HDD install to my scandisk cruzermini 1GB pen drive to make it bootable from the BIOS. I then rebooted my desktop and DSL booted from the flash drive perfectly. So I set my notebook to boot form removable devices first, but the bios skipped right over it and booted windows.
So I went back in through the desktop and formatted USB-ZIP. Still no dice. The laptop skips over it every time. Any ideas?
