Why won't my netbook read by USB drive?

I have a problem installing Ubuntu via USB storage using unetbootin:
My notebook BIOS does not read the USB key, instead of another notebook that I tried that does.

I think the problem is that USB ports are not active because if I go in BIOS settings in the page in which I can set what device is ran first, the bios does not show me the name of the USB drive, instead of the other notebook that does.

Look for something called USB Legacy Support in the BIOS or similar. Enabling that should allow the machine to pretend the USB key is a hard drive and boot from it. Ubuntu should take over from there.
