What is the size of the USB stick? What command did you use to burn the img onto the stick?

Did you create the bootable USB stick via the ISO or the IMG file?

From IMG file. i checked USB on my Laptop nothing wrong with it its working fine while booting in my laptop

Sounds like a BIOS setting then on that system.

Also, the stick itself has the OS (e.g. you won't be able to install it onto a hard drive from the stick).

I tried this solution it worked for me:

Using iDRAC's virtual media . I have a DRAC, mount an ISO via the DRAC's web interface and then during boot i select to boot from this virtual CDrom.
