non-Windows application, enable USB legacy support.
For instructions, refer in this guide to

Legacy Support,
next in this section.
The only type of USB drive that the computer can start up
from is a diskette drive, and the only type of USB drive
included in the Setup utility startup sequence is a diskette
drive.
For information about using the Setup utility to set the
computer to start up from a specific medium or device, refer
