Over the years, I've tried several different utilities such as tuxboot 
and unetbootin, with varied success.  More recently, a co-worker pointed 
me to Rufus...

https://rufus.akeo.ie/

It's easier to use than the alternatives, and has given me far fewer 
issues with various picky BIOSes not wanting to boot from the resulting 
image.

I don't know if this will solve your issue, but it's worth a try!
