What you have installed on the disk will not affect whether it will boot from USB, it should boot before it even looks at what is on the disk. Possibly the stick is messed up. Try putting the iso on a DVD and boot off that, or put the image on a different stick. It took me a little time to work out why wireless did not work on my new laptop until I realised that I had to switch it on with a function key. Are you sure it was not something like that for you, but now you have messed up the drivers so that it now shows unclaimed rather than disabled, which is what it would show if it just needed switching on? You need to boot the live image to find out. You may just be wasting your time otherwise.
