   Like I said, it will depend on UEFI BIOS. I would not get the options   
   of drive boot order until secure boot disabled.   
   Your fairly close on the any other drives part for my BIOS. No way to   
   set USB as a boot device. Not even in the boot override section,   
   unless you already have the bootable USB stick inserted.
