Hi David, I recently installed ubuntu remix on an asus and initially had a similar issue. What I had to do was enter bios setup with f2, select the boot section of the bios, enable the usb stick as a second drive and set the boot order to use that drive to boot from before the built-in asus hard drive. Then save your changes and exit the bios. You may need to then reboot and the system should boot from the usb stick. If it still fails, you may want to try and verify the usb stick is correctly setup with a boot image.
