Try to make your bootable partition the first partition on the drive,
and make it as small as possible. I've seen some BIOSes that hit the
1023 cylinder limit when booting off USB.

Another possibility is to use the CD-ROM portion of the stick for the
bootloader (assuming the BIOS can see it).

Also, if you haven't done it yet, update the BIOS on the machine to
the latest one - even if the changelog doesn't mention anything
regarding USB booting, it often helps.
