In this, since I last posted, I remembered that, on one of my computers, 
on which I installed Linux Mint, whilst the BIOS was set to boot first 
from the USB input, it would not, so, I simply wrote a copy of the iso 
file to a DVD, and, booted from the DVD drive, and, installed from the 
DVD drive, without any problem.

If the original poster has not yet been able to boot into a Linux iso 
file from the USB input, perhaps, providing the computer does have a DVD 
drive, the original poster could try the DVD method, and, tell us how 
successful that is.
