Well, I've had a problem with my ASUS desktop where I have to reorder my hard disks in the bios each time I plug in a USB to boot from. If I leave it plugged in it stays the way I had it set. However, I don't know that this would be your problem. Since it is booting into your linux mint without showing any errors (i assume) that sounds to me like its not even trying to boot from the USB, or that for whatever reason the USB has nothing on it. Have you checked that? Do you happen to have a 'live-rw' partition on your hard drive?
I would 1. mount the USB and check the contents of the drive. if for some reason it is blank, obviously a problem. Then download and reformat. 2. play with bios again and see if something works. if you get any error messages, that could be helpful in solving the problem. i hope something will work out!
