You mean the bios doesn't let you interrupt boot to access boot media priority menu ? Or you can boot but on disk instead of USB ? (then your usb stick is not bootable so it ignore it & go back to normal boot on disk))

If your computer supports UEFI boot, you should be able to boot directly from the flash drive (reference your motherboard's keyboard shortcuts for the exact boot key). Otherwise, you'll need a direct-write utility to write the ISO to the flash drive. Unetbootin is old software and not necessary when you have a bootable ISO (most are these days).

Thanks for the correction. To clarify, unetbootin was conceived before Linux ISOs were created with USB boot in mind. From what I hear, it tends to modify the image which can cause booting issues. I'd recommend using a different program to wrote the image.

As a last resort you can try to enable "legacy boot" option if supported by you BIOS.
In my previous experience (hp envy 15 amd apu), the bootable flash drive (gentoo x86_64) required this option in order to be detected by the bios.
