maybe usb stick is hidden under another option in BIOS? sometimes it's showing under 'hd' drives.

also - please try to boot on another PC to make sure that installation was done correctly.

I tried on my friends laptop and it says no operating system found again is it the installation then? Or could it the usb be?

To add some info...
In some BIOS you have to select booting order (eg 1-CD 2-HDD) and also you have to select inside HDD booting the order of your "Hard Drives" (there's where your flash drive could be); then you just simply put USB first and your HDD after it and that's all.
